I seem to recall someone writing that the ancient Egyptians were into all manner of coupling and that homosexuality was no big deal.

People 4400 years ago were most respectful than half americans today... What a shame for them!

Two royal manicurists, buried in a sealed tomb. No feet apart because they were obviously gay

Thanks, somebody needed to "go there" (manicurists).

Since there were no Christians back then, lucky, they probably got to live their lives.

manicurists? so Vietnamese made it to dynastic Egypt
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
Overseers of the royal manicurists actually. There were several departments of beauticians just for the king. Head shavers, wig fitters etc.

Greeks and Roman's never even had a word for homsexual. Not that I know of anyway, sure ancient Egypt was no different.

I thought the ancient politically correct wording was “bachelors” ? /s
wilagames
They weren't bachelor's tho. Per the Wikipedia article they both had wives and several children.
realgeorge73
There it is! Thank you… but that means they probably weren’t “roommates” either
wilagames
I mean they could have been "roommates"... Who knows. Back then marriage wasn't always about love.
wazeewa
Yea....roommates

This meme is so weird. Historians, more than any other group of people I know, are the first to say "yeah, those guys fucked".

Nowadays, sure. A couple decades ago, not so much.

Difference between saying & printing -the latter is reviewed by school boards etc. To avoid censure - no need to give them any more reasons

*Modern historians. Old time historians: "They were.... Good friends, if you know what I mean. *wink wink nudge nudge*"

While that’s true now, it was definitly a thing for a long time thst this was ignited. Alexander the Great reportedly once had a male singer

Considering all the inbreeding I doubt that's an issue for them
Larktonguesinadicecup
Historians understand that many patterns of relationships have existed and they don't all map perfectly onto modern understanding
Larktonguesinadicecup
That means gay people have always existed, but also that male on male sex can be contextual and it didn't always make someone
Larktonguesinadicecup
"Gay" to their society. For example, the age of the participants, or who was doing the penetration, or their social classes,
Larktonguesinadicecup
would all be potentially figured in. Historians also understand that friendship and affection customs change over time, and what comes off
Larktonguesinadicecup
as gay to modern eyes could be normal affection at the time, or even vice versa.

That's what I love a/b historians, they are so over everything. I listen to BBC History podcasts & it's always Host: Many ppl say that 1/?
Imalwaysready
Any good BBC History podcast shows (or specific episodes) to recommend?
Canofminus
Podcast is called 'History Extra', their multipart the Salem witch trials got me listening regularly. The Floating Hell of Prison hulks 1/2
Canofminus
and debtors prisons were the ones I most recently enjoyed. 2/2
Canofminus
[unpopular opinion a/b subject], is there any weight to that. Guest: Oh, 100% that happened, doesn't change anything, but it happened 2/2
CandidGamera
Because the history content the general public tends to see is usually simplified and sanitized to be family-friendly. Hence the abundance->

<- of "fertility cult icons" in human history. Every historian knows it's just a pile of dildos and porn.

I liked vines... until a lot of my teachers did a "Harlem shake" or wtf ever they were called xD

I have a friend at work and we communicate through vines at least 50% of the time. GIVE ME MY HAT BACK JORDAN

What's the backstory? Why did they die at the same time? Is this real (source somewhere) or just a funny meme? :) I need to know.
ALovelyTime
Per the wiki article someone else posted, there’s no indication they died at the same time. Just buried in the same tomb.
BorkBorkasson
Thanks, didn't see the wiki article (maybe it wasn't posted yet?), but I'll go looking.

if they were part of a royal court didn't the king...kill all the ppl who served him so they could do it again in the after life?
draqsko
No, that's not how it worked in ancient Egypt. They used helper statues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ushabti
Teeheewink
ahh cool I was curious about that like since there are advisors and physicians that were valuable and then would need to be replaced
draqsko
And the pyramid builders. People like to think they were slaves but really they were the best stone masons in all of Egypt. Only the best 1/
