On this day in queer history: Nov 12, 1964
Archaeologists discovered the tomb of Nyankh-khnum and Khnum-hotep at Saqqara, Egypt. Dating to 2400 BCE, it shows the two men embracing — one of history’s earliest depictions of same-sex love.

One day in Ancient Egyptian Mythology:
Thoth: “For this interview, we’re meeting Khnum.”
Khnum: (keeps working on his potter’s wheel.)
Thoth: “So, you’re the one making everyone’s physical forms out of clay.”
Khnum: (non-verbal affirmative grunt.)

The Blood-Flooded Temple of Khnum
Inspired by our community's feedback, we've reimagined Egyptian mythology in the afterlife.
The mummified Khnum floods the sacred halls of his temple with endless blood.
A divine sanctuary turned into a monument of decay.

Archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the entrance to King Tutankhamen’s tomb on this day 1922. Manchester Museum had already embraced the Egyptology boom, adding a new wing. Margaret Murray in 1908 ‘unwrapped’ the mummified priest Khnum-nakt in a public demonstration.
