Archaeologists unearth 5,000-year-old 'third-gender' caveman Archaeologists investigating a 5,000-year-old Copper Age grave in the Czech Republic believe they may have unearthed the first known remains of a gay or transvestite caveman, reports the Telegraph. The man was apparently buried as if he were a woman, an aberrant practice for an ancient culture known for its strict burial procedures. Since the grave dates to between 2900 and 2500 BC, the man would have been a member of the Corded Ware culture, a late Stone Age and Copper Age people named after the unique kind of pottery they produced. Men in this culture were traditionally buried lying on their right side with their heads pointing west, but this man was instead buried on his left side with his head pointing east, which is how women were typically buried. "From history and ethnology, we know that people from this period took funeral rites very seriously so it is highly unlikely that this positioning was a mistake," said lead archaeologist Kamila Remisova Vesinova.

Main Page My family is a bit odd. I think I’ve mentioned that before. But that’s the family I know about. See, there is a whole huge side of my family I don’t know. It’s a bit strange. Lemme explain. My father didn’t get along with his family at all, and I don’t think his mother did with hers either. That was always it. Except once, this one single time, my father tells me we’re going to a birthday party. Well, sure, if you say so. So we go to this party. So we get there and there are no less than 100 people there. I met some of them, I couldn’t tell you any of their names, at all. Anyway we went, we left, I have never seen these people since. I mean when I date, ever since this, so most of my life, I wonder, in the back of my head, if the person could possibly be a cousin. I wouldn’t ever know until we had little French Royalty inbred kids! I’m going to have to start getting DNA tests with everyone I meet, I fear. So yes. Like this: Like Loading...
