Sex, Gender, and Love in Ancient Egypt: Part I

CW// adult content EPISODE 17 | For the month of February, we have two love, sex, and gender focused episodes for everyone. In Part 1, Kara and Jordan explore how the Egyptians defined sex and gender; what were the gender norms; where we can see gender queer or intersex individuals; and what role 'love' played. Lastly, we end on the *sexy* creation myth stories- how Atum created the world (hint- it's NSFW) and the key role of Isis in the Osiris myth. [all views are our own]Show notesIf you want knowledgable hot takes on headlines about archaeology, Egyptology, and antiquity in general delivered to your inbox, subscribe to our Substack Ancient/Now.You can also support the podcast by becoming a Patron.Follow Kara on social media, visit her website, and more: https://linktr.ee/karacooney Get full access to Ancient/Now at ancientnow.substack.com/subscribe
