tomb walls were decorated with scenes of them ignoring their wives in favor of embracing each other. In one scene, the couple is seated at a banquet table that is usually reserved for a husband and wife. There\u2019s an entire motif of Khnumhotep holding lotus flowers which in ancient Egyptian tradition symbolizes femininity. Khnumhotep offers the lotus flower to Niankhkhnum, something that only wives were ever depicted as doing for their husbands. In fact, Khnumhotep is repeatedly depicted as uniquely feminine, being shown smaller and shorter than his partner Niankhkhnum and being placed in the role of a woman. Size is a big deal in Egyptian art, husbands are almost always shown as being larger and taller than their wives. So for two men of equal status to be shown in once again, a marital fashion, is pretty telling. Not to mention they were literally buried together which is the strongest bond two people could share in ancient Egypt, as it would mean sharing the journey to the afterlife together. <br \/>And yet 90% of the academic text about these two talks about these clues in vague terms and analyze the great \u201cbrotherhood\u201d they shared, and the enigma of Khnumhotep being depicted as feminine. Apparently it\u2019s too hard for archaeologists to accept homosexuality in the ancient world, as well as the possibility of trans individuals.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh, I love this. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>psychemenace: samandriel: kendrajk: Informative Ancient Egypt Comics:\u00a0BROS Our 1st\u00a0place contest winner requested a Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep\u00a0comic as their prize.
