But they did not have a rigid nventn of sexualy as eher heterosexual or homosexual, and, at least at certa tim, and certa strata, may have tolerated and even celebrated same-sex love.

This faial theory was nsired a fact until Egyptologists the 1990s proposed that they were actually lovers, meang that Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum uld very well be the first gay uple history.
