Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the book that introduced readers to the erotic life that flourished along the banks of the Nile at all levels of society. While much was known about the sexual life of the Greeks and Romans, this was the first to describe the rich and varied sexual life of the ancient Egyptians, which they described in words and pictures, many of which are reproduced here as photographs and facsimile drawings, drawn from sources such as sculptures, reliefs, paintings, sketches of erotic scenes and objects such as pottery and jewellery, as well as texts which vividly describe the passions of gods and men. Lise Manniche discusses all aspects of the intimate life of Egyptians including prostitution, concubines, adultery, homosexuality, intercourse with animals, necrophilia, incest and polygamy, from the Old Kingdom to the start of the Graeco-Roman period. First Published in 2004. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

Download or read book Love and Sex in Ancient Egypt written by Bernard Paul Badham and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexuality in ancient Egypt was open, untainted by guilt. Sex was an important part of life, from birth to death and rebirth. Singles and married couples made love. The gods themselves were earthy enough to copulate. The Egyptians even believed in sex in the afterlife. Sex was not taboo. Even the Egyptian religion was filled with tales of adultery, incest, homosexuality and masturbation, with hints of necrophilia! Masculinity and femininity itself were strongly linked with the ability to conceive and bear children. The ancient Egyptians were aware of the function of the sex act and the purpose of the male semen in that act, but there were some misconceptions as to the semen's source, its route through the female body and its eventual fertilisation of the female ovum. It is this misconception about the female body, coupled with Egyptian religious belief, that will lead the reader to some surprising conclusions about ancient Egyptian temple practices.

Download or read book Sex and Erotism in Ancient Egypt written by Benjamin Collado Hinarejos and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-24 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many questions related to sexuality that all of us lovers of ancient Egypt have asked at some point: was the image of depravity that the Romans spread, especially referring to Queen Cleopatra, true? How did they deal with homosexuality? What were their favorite positions in bed? Did they practice bestiality, necrophilia, incest, pedophilia, and other rumored deviancies? The truth is that by studying this aspect of Egyptian life we find truly amazing items, like a pornographic papyrus that scandalized the very Champollion himself, a pharaoh who slips through the night in the bed of one of his generals, a goddess who sleeps with her dead husband, a god who praises the buttocks of another while trying to sodomize him, or a festival in which women copulate with a ram in-front of a crowd. This work pinpoints these issues and many others, including the use of aphrodisiacs and contraceptives, love spells, erotic poetry or the attitude towards adultery, in an entertaining and concise but rigorous way, and accompanied by more than 30 images that will help us understand this important facet of life and social relations of the ancient Egyptians.
Download or read book Sex Society In Graeco Roman written by Montserrat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1996-01-06 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1996. Sexuality in the ancient world has received much scholarly attention in the last few years, but authors have tended to confine themselves to the literary sources from Greece and Rome. There has also been a concentration on issues of social dominance and control at the expense of analysing the emotional and experiential aspects of sexual life, for which Egypt is a unique source. This is the first comprehensive study of sex in ancient Egypt. It considers sex in its broadest sense, analysing not only the sexual practices of individual people but also the ways in which sexual activity was indivisibly woven into the fabric of social and communal life. The main sources are the innumerable private documents written in Egypt during the Graeco-Roman period, and almost miraculously preserved by the dry climate. All types of documents are used, from magic spells for winning over a lover to judicial accounts of sexual crimes, many of them translated here into English for the first time. From these fragments, a world has been reconstructed in which real people move and function as sexual beings. This is an innovative addition to our knowledge of the ancient world, and has much to say about the construction of sexuality in the ancient world, about notions of the self and the sexual self, and about the ways that people inhabited their bodies.

Download or read book Violence and Gender in Ancient Egypt written by Uroš Matić and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-30 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violence and Gender in Ancient Egypt shifts the focus of gender studies in Egyptology to social phenomena rarely addressed through the lens of gender – war and violence, exploring the complex intersections of violence and gender in ancient Egypt. Building on current discussions in philosophy, anthropology, and sociology, and on analysis of relevant historic texts, iconography, and archaeological remains by looking at possible gender patterns behind evidence of trauma, the book bridges the gap between modern understandings of gendered violence and its functioning in ancient Egypt. Areas explored include the following: differences in gendered aggression and violent acts between people and deities; sexual violence; the taking of men, women, and children as prisoners of war; and feminization of enemies. By examining ancient Egyptian texts and images with evidence for violence from different periods and contexts – private tombs, divine temples, royal stelae, papyri, and ostraca, ranging over 3,000 years of cultural history – Violence and Gender in Ancient Egypt highlights the complex intersection between gender and violence in ancient Egyptian culture. The book will appeal to scholars and students working in Egyptology, archaeology, history, anthropology, sociology, and gender studies.

Download or read book The Erotic Papyrus written by LXV ÆGypt and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-06-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few things are more tantalizing than the forbidden fruit, and that may explain the enduring appeal of the Erotic Papyrus of Turin. This ancient Egyptian text is thought to date back to around 1100 BCE, and it contains a number of explicit images and inscriptions. It is not clear exactly what the papyrus was used for, but some scholars believe it may have been one of the earliest, if not the first, examples of pornography. Whatever its original purpose, the erotic papyrus of Turin is now a valuable artifact of ancient erotic art. And while it may not be suitable for all audiences, there's no denying its charm. The papyrus was discovered in poor condition in the Valley of the Kings in the 19th century. The papyrus was brought to Turin (hence the name "Erotic Papyrus of Turin") and is exhibited in the Museo Egizio of Turin (Egyptian Museum in Italian), where it was hidden for a long time because of its obscene nature. The papyrus depicts twelve erotic scenes, including both sexual and non-sexual acts, especially in the sixth and seventh scenes. The book has been structured in this way: on the left, the reconstructed scene, and on the right, a textual description of the scene. Discover them without delay!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Our eyes were riveted to each other as it came to life in my belly, taking me further and further into the night, the pleasure and oblivion of the outside world." Alia is a great reporter who is not afraid of anything: she has had her share of incredible events and all-too-real horrors in life. This report on exceptional archaeological excavations in Egypt should allow her to relax and take a step back. Who better for a nocturnal visit of the funerary city than a gorgeous and mysterious guide who seems to know everything about its occupants? Anen takes Alia on a sensual and passionate journey into the heart of ancient Egypt and its traditions. But is it all real? Born in Montreal to a Breton father, Chrystelle LeRoy’s family owned a zoo from which she derives a passion for observing animals and nature. As an adult, she became a historian, working for museums in Canada and France before specialising in digital writing where she won several awards. She introduces a dose of exoticism into her novels, often built on a background of historical reality.
Download or read book Private Life in New Kingdom Egypt written by Lynn Meskell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the literature on ancient Egypt centers on pharaohs or on elite conceptions of the afterlife. This scintillating book examines how ordinary ancient Egyptians lived their lives. Drawing on the remarkably rich and detailed archaeological, iconographic, and textual evidence from some 450 years of the New Kingdom, as well as recent theoretical innovations from several fields, it reconstructs private and social life from birth to death. The result is a meaningful portrait composed of individual biographies, communities, and landscapes. Structured according to the cycles of life, the book relies on categories that the ancient Egyptians themselves used to make sense of their lives. Lynn Meskell gracefully sifts the evidence to reveal Egyptian domestic arrangements, social and family dynamics, sexuality, emotional experience, and attitudes toward the cadences of human life. She discusses how the Egyptians of the New Kingdom constituted and experienced self, kinship, life stages, reproduction, and social organization. And she examines their creation of communities and the material conditions in which they lived. Also included is neglected information on the formation of locality and the construction of gender and sexual identity and new evidence from the mortuary record, including important new data on the burial of children. Throughout, Meskell is careful to highlight differences among ancient Egyptians--the ways, for instance, that ethnicity, marital status, age, gender, and occupation patterned their experiences. Readers will come away from this book with new insights on how life may have been experienced and conceived of by ancient Egyptians in all their variety. This makes Private Life in New Kingdom Egypt unique in Egyptology and fascinating to read.
