Sex, Gender, and Love in Ancient Egypt: Part I
from Afterlives of Ancient Egypt with Kara Cooney · host Kara Cooney
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.
