Your username: Tara de Draiocht Partner's username: Illusei Throwbacks:sad, Say something cool about pride: Archaeologists dug up two male royal court manicurists named Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep in Egypt, found buried together in a shared tomb in a similar way to how married couples at the time were. They were nose to nose in a close embrace – no, they weren’t friends, brothers or roommates, historians say.
Instead, they were lovers, possibly the first gay couple to appear in recorded history. Niankhkhum and Khnumhotel’s epigraph reads: “Joined in life and joined in death.” And they say romance is dead.
