Discovered a 2,500-year-old gay painting on stone

This is said to be a gay erotic image carved in stone that is the largest date to date. In addition, archaeologists discovered next to the large drawings are the words 'steamy' notes found in the Aegean Island (Greece).

The text was discovered by archaeologists: 'Nikasitimos made love here with Timiona' . It was found next to the giant stone strokes depicting two men tied together.

The oldest gay painting on rock so far

This erotic painting and the inscribed words also emphasize the level of Greek literacy and reading when the Acropolis castle in Athens has not yet been built. The literary researcher Angelos Matthaiou said: 'The person who wrote this erotic text was trained in a very written language. The well-written words can be of some philosopher, scholar or historian. But it does not exclude the possibility of merely being an educated citizen in the region. '

Dr. Andreas Vlachopoulos, an archaeologist at Ioannina University - told The Guardian: ' This is obviously a homosexual work. They claim their own space with big words not only expressing sexual desire but also referring to physical relationships. And that is a very rare piece. '

Andreas Vlachopoulos added: 'We know that homosexual desires among ancient Greek men are not taboo. However, this stone painting is one of the oldest dated paintings discovered. The words left behind are used in the continuous past tense, indicating that these two men had a homosexual relationship for quite a long time. '
