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. |
