[travel Man-pig love in Ancient Egypt
I saw some of the oldest tombs in Anciient Egypt on my last day there. The carvings on the walls were a bit wackier than usual. Here's one that caught my eye -- it appeared to be a man and a pig getting some hot tongue-on-tongue action.
Upon inspection of other carvings, it appeared that the tongue-out look was their way of portraying an animal as dead. So it's more likely a priest kissing a *dead* pig (with another priest washing the pig) before offering it as a sacrifice.
