From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Homosexual love and sexuality was common in ancient Egypt and accepted as a normal activity.[citation needed] The earliest homosexual couple in recorded history were Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum, manicurists in the Palace of King Niuserre during the Fifth Dynasty of Egyptian pharaohs, circa 2400 B.C.[1]
