Sexual thing in ancient egypt
The importance of the erotic part among the Egyptians is still, for
the modern archaeology, a great area of study, became this topic has been
removed from the research for a superficial modesty.
In Egypt there aren’t any erotic representations that describe interhuman
relationships.
This could suggest that eroticism on the banks of the Nile
was a taboo.
It’s not true. It’s enough to think that, if the Egyptians haven’t left
any erotic images (as instead the greek and the Romans have), they have
left many writings about this subject. The great papyrus in
Turin demonstrates that about three thousand years ago in the Land of the
pyramids there already was pornography.
The ancient Egyptians usually used
even mysterious aphrodisiac mixtures.
If we compare the Egyptian erotic
reading to the Greek and roman one, it’s understood that in the Country of
the Nile the woman was much more free, seductive and aggressive in love,
completely different from she who is read about in Ovidio’s stories (Ars
Amandi) or Luciano’s onos (dialogues).
The Egyptian women were much more
important than the women in the rest of the world. And this counted even
and mostly for the erotic past.
In no other part of the world there were the strip tease, such beautiful
dancers.
We find them for the first time in the court of the fourth
Thutmosi, Tut’s great grandfather: a scribe in Thutmosi’s IV temple,
ordered to represent one of those dancers called “of the beauty” on his
own tomb.
Since them, they often appeared in the private teban burials.
They can be admired in the sacred temple in Luxor; such a thing was
obscene for the modest Erodoto. |
