Great article, informative and extremely interesting! The Egyptian civilization was not the only civilization to embrace human sexuality. The ancient Greeks believed that sexuality and love were connected with the creation of the earth (ΓΑΙΑ), the heavens (ΟΥΡΑΝΟΣ), and the underworld ( ΑΔΗΣ). Before the expansion of the monotheistic religions, sexuality and love were part of everyday life.
Excellent comment @npatou, no doubt the ancient civilizations are very relevant in terms of expressions of love, eroticism and sexuality that go hand with believing in their deities.
