    Evidently it really was probably a cucumber? http://artisticlicenseorwhyitrustnoone.blogspot.com/2022/11/bullshit-memes-8-ancient-egyptian.html?m=1

    tl;dr - was found with other model food, probably meant to sustain someone in the afterlife

      Let me guess. A model carrot, squash was there also. And a drawing of a farmer with his shirt off.

      People just love to assume that archeologists have no idea what sex or gay people are. Not saying there isn’t a problem with that, but the memes are overblown.

      I remember seeing a ton of “archeologists: tHeY’rE jUsT fRiEnDs” comments on an ancient illustration of two Egyptian men, when every single source I could find explained why they seem to have been a gay couple.

        Seems like a case where a particular claim of a select group was generalised over a supergroup by way of being the subject of memes that ran away with the stereotype.

        It’s like that one fraud falsifying studies about a specific type of vaccines in an attempt to sell his own, only for people to latch on to the “vaccine bad” part of the story without limit, nuance or critical examination.

        Does anyone still know where the original “just friends” claim stems from, in which context, supported by which arguments, what refutations have been offered since and just how widespread among archaeologists it is today?

        also like, is it really that hard to imagine that archeologists went “well this is a gay couple but uh, we can’t really say that, so let’s just informally agree that ‘close friends’ is euphemism for ‘gay couple’, okay?”

      IM sure that’s what they wrote down and I’m sure that’s what the person who had it commissioned said it was but the one thing I am more sure of is that this is not a cucumber and nobody who ever saw it has ever thought it is a cucumber.
