In this special collab episode, TK from For The Love of History comes on to teach me and you about the Tomb of the Two Brothers, the earliest recorded same sex couple in ancient history. The assumed romantic relationship between Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum is based on depictions of the two men standing nose to nose and embracing.
