This is a very good read -- which points out that Ancient Egypt was #African, but often gets lumped into #Mediterranean history (guilty of that myself). And yes, I wondered about Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep as well... Also, there are "love spells" in Egyptian magic whose purpose was for a woman to attract another woman. themstory: #AncientEgypt Was Totally Queer By Hugh Ryan February 22, 2018 "In 1964, archaeologists in Egypt opened the tomb of #Niankhkhnum and #Khnumhotep, two men who lived and died sometime around the year #2380BCE. Inside, they would discover what might be the oldest evidence of queer lives in existence. "In the tomb, the two were depicted in many of the stereotypical ways that heterosexual couples were shown in Egyptian funereal art: kissing nose-to-nose, holding hands, and standing very closely together, almost in an embrace. Their wives (and children) are also depicted in the tombs, though curiously, there are no paintings of either man embracing or kissing their wife. "If a man and a woman were depicted in this way, they would obviously be interpreted as a couple. And so, faced with all this evidence, archaeologists leapt to the conclusion that Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep were... brothers — really, really close brothers. Possibly even conjoined twins (not that they are depicted as conjoined in the tomb at all — in fact, they are often depicted separately). "#JacklynLacey, who specializes in #AfricanEthnology at the American Museum of Natural History, is unsurprised about these interpretations. I can almost hear her eyes roll over the phone as she talks about the long history within the field of #archaeology — 'a discipline that has reproduced itself through the #colonialist #WhiteMale lens,' she says — of 'explaining away things that appear queer.' "What is definitely known about Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep? They worked as chief manicurists to the Pharaoh in the fifth dynasty of the Old Kingdom. This might sound like the set-up for a terrible gay remake of Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, but at the time, grooming the Pharoah was revered labor. "Though they weren’t themselves nobility, it is clear from their tomb that the two men were of high status. And, curiously enough, they were of equal status, being depicted in complimentary activities without either being shown as smaller, lesser, or subservient to the other. "According to author Wael Fathi, this is far from the only allusion to queerness in Ancient Egyptian culture. For other examples, he cites the Egyptian Book of the Dead, written in 970 BCE (not to be confused with the Tibetan Book of the Dead, written sometime in the 8th century CE). Its female author writes, 'I never had sex with a woman in the temple.' Who knew so much suggestion could be packed into the phrase 'in the temple.' There are also numerous allusions to same-sex sexual activity and gender bending among the tales of Egyptian gods. And in the Book of Dreams (circa 1200 BCE), different fates are laid out for the woman who has sex with a married woman versus the one who has sex with a single woman. "Still and all, it would be historically inaccurate to talk about 'gay Ancient Egyptians,' Lacey hastens to clarify, for two reasons. First, we’re dealing with small amounts of evidence, which makes it hard to interpret what, exactly, we’re seeing. It’s not strictly impossible that Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep could have been especially close brothers, or even twins. As for the Book of the Dead, prominent men (and occasional women) paid to have versions written out specifically for them, and some have suggested that this particular version miscopied a line meant for a man into a text for a woman. Second, even when we do correctly identify a practice — say, of women having sex with one another outside of the temple — that doesn’t mean that that physical activity is correlated with the same kind of identity we know today as lesbianism. (For this reason, I prefer to use the word queer, as a way of gesturing towards a sexual or emotional practice that was unusual — no such other tombs of two men or two women have been yet identified — and outside the bounds of heterosexuality.) "Egyptian history is, in some ways, particularly prone to these problems of misinterpretation, because starting in the late 19th and early 20th century, 'the country is basically excised out of the continent and moved into the Levant by Westerners,' according to Lacey. Over and over again, historians and archaeologists have contrasted Egyptians with Greeks and Romans, and have seen Egyptian practices through what we know from those cultures, rather than putting them in conversation with other #AfricanEmpires — even though, for example, we know that the 25th Dynasty of Egypt (aka the #KushiteEmpire) was actually a series of five #Nubian rulers, who came from Northern #Sudan. Lacey tells me that there is a persistent rumor among scholars who study Nubia that 'there were entirely homosexual groups of men living in the kingdom of Kush,' though no one has ever isolated the source of those rumors, or proven or disproven them. Perhaps that’s because only a tiny fraction of the time, money, and effort that’s been spent on archaeology and ethnography in Egypt and the Mediterranean has ever been spent on other parts of Africa. "In fact, when the African Peoples hall opened at the American Museum of Natural History in 1960, it was the first major permanent museum exhibition to include Egypt with the rest of Africa. To this day, Lacey points out, this is a problem in most museums. 'The Met has a Department of Africa, The Americas, and Oceania,' she says, “essentially combining four continents, but it also has a department of Egyptology.” And at the Brooklyn Museum, they have a collection of “Egyptian, Classical, and Ancient Near Eastern Art,” which mixes Egyptian, Middle Eastern, and Ancient Greek and Roman artifacts. "Queer Egyptian history is thus caught in a double bind: it is rarely seen as queer, and rarely seen as African. Perhaps today, at a time when we are finally willing to accept an #Afrofuturist fictive African empire that has nothing to do with the West, as audiences did with the record-breaking film Black Panther this weekend, we can extend our imaginations backwards and begin to imagine a past that sees Africa as an entire continent — one in conversation with #Mediterranean cultures, but not the same as them." Hugh Ryan is the author of the forthcoming book When Brooklyn Was Queer (St. Martin’s Press, March 2019), and co-curator of the upcoming exhibition On the (Queer) Waterfront at the Brooklyn Historical Society.

Il Tempo: Giuliacci non dà speranze sul caldo: ad agosto torna il rovente anticiclone africano Che tempo farà nei prossimi giorni? A dare una risposta al quesito è Mario Giuliacci, noto meteorologo, in un video apparso sul proprio canale YouTube: “Godiamoci ancora per 5-6 giorni questa rinfrescata in atto, perché poi ai primi di agosto ritorna lui, il rovente anticiclone africano. L'aria fresca appunto sta ancora seguitando a influenzare l'Italia, si sta propagando anche alle regioni meridionali, restano un po' più scoperte le isole maggiori. Intanto fino al 28 luglio si vedranno arrivare appunto queste più fresche correnti atlantiche per due perturbazioni, una arriva giovedì 23 luglio e l'altra arriva alla fine di sabato 25 luglio per interessare poi domenica 26 luglio l'Italia. In genere questi rovesci e temporali interesseranno per lo più le regioni adriatiche, quindi Friuli Venezia Giulia, Emilia Romagna, Marche, Umbria, rilievi abruzzesi e persino la Puglia”. Quindi quando torna questo caldo? Ecco il resto dell'analisi del colonnello: “Poi tra il 29 luglio e il 31 luglio si affaccia l'anticiclone africano, invierà correnti più calde, quindi avremo temperature tra 32 e 35 gradi, correnti più calde però di origine subtropicale atlantica. Ma poi tra l'1 e il 5 agosto l'anticiclone africano mostra il peggio di sé e invierà sull'Italia correnti calde di origine nordafricana. Quindi dovremo di nuovo sopportare temperature superiori a 35 gradi e prossime ai 40 gradi. Non siamo - spiega Giuliacci - ancora in grado di dire quando finirà questa ondata di caldo nordafricana”. Giuliacci isn't offering any hope for heat: in August, the scorching African anticyclone will return. What the weather will be like in the coming days? To answer this question is Mario Giuliacci, a well-known meteorologist, in a video appearing on his YouTube channel: “Let’s enjoy this refreshing trend for another 5-6 days because then, at the beginning of August, he returns – the scorching African anticyclone. The fresh air is still influencing Italy, it is also spreading to the southern regions, the larger islands remain a little more exposed. In the meantime, until July 28th, we will see these cooler Atlantic currents arrive for two disturbances, one arrives on Thursday, July 23rd and the other arrives at the end of Saturday, July 25th, then affecting Italy on Sunday, July 26th. Generally, these showers and thunderstorms will mainly affect the Adriatic regions, so Friuli Venezia Giulia, Emilia Romagna, Marche, Umbria, Abruzzo foothills and even Puglia.” So when does this heat return? Here’s the rest of the Colonel's analysis: “Then between July 29th and July 31st, the African anticyclone appears, sending warmer currents, so we will have temperatures between 32 and 35 degrees Celsius, warmer currents of Atlantic subtropical origin. But then between August 1st and August 5th, the African anticyclone shows its worst side and sends warm currents to Italy of North African origin. So we’ll have to endure temperatures above 35 degrees and close to 40 degrees again. – explains Giuliacci – “We are still unable to say when this North African heatwave will end.” #Giuliacci #African #MarioGiuliacci #YouTube #Italy #Atlantic #Adriatic #Friuli #VeneziaGiulia #EmiliaRomagna #Marche #Umbria #Abruzzo #Puglia #35degreesCelsius #NorthAfrican #35degrees #40degrees https://www.iltempo.it/attualita/2026/07/22/news/meteo-quanto-caldo-fa-agosto-2026-ultime-previsioni-mario-giuliacci-anticiclone-africano-48644147/

Il Tempo: Meteo, la svolta di Giuliacci: "Aria fresca e temporali". Dove e quando Le condizioni meteorologiche sull'Italia si apprestano a vivere un primo e atteso cambiamento. Come avverte il meteorologo Giuliacci sul suo sito Meteo Giuliacci, correnti più fresche in arrivo dalla Scandinavia raggiungeranno i Balcani e si riverseranno successivamente anche sulla nostra penisola. Questo flusso instabile inizierà un progressivo lavoro di rimozione dell'anticiclone africano, portando un'ottima notizia sul fronte delle temperature e spezzando la morsa del caldo intenso in diverse regioni. La giornata di sabato 18 luglio sarà dunque caratterizzata da una marcata instabilità su parte del Nord e del Centro-Nord. Sono previsti rovesci e temporali che colpiranno in modo particolare le Alpi Centro-Orientali, l'Emilia-Romagna e il Levante Ligure. L'ondata di calore resisterà invece in modo più deciso sul resto del territorio nazionale, mantenendo temperature superiori ai 35 gradi ancora al Centro-Sud e nelle aree interne delle Isole Maggiori. Il picco del caldo si registrerà nel Foggiano, nel Materano e nell'interno delle Isole Maggiori, dove i valori massimi toccheranno punte intorno ai 40 gradi, prima che il ricambio d'aria riesca a estendersi a tutto il Paese. Weather, Giuliacci’s turnaround: “Fresh air and thunderstorms.” Where and when The weather conditions in Italy are about to experience a first and anticipated change. As meteorologist Giuliacci warns on his Meteo Giuliacci website, cooler currents arriving from Scandinavia will reach the Balkans and subsequently spill over onto our peninsula. This unstable flow will begin a progressive removal of the African anticyclone, bringing good news regarding temperatures and breaking the grip of intense heat in several regions. Saturday, July 18th will therefore be characterized by marked instability in part of Northern and Central-Northern Italy. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to particularly affect the Central-Eastern Alps, Emilia-Romagna, and the Ligurian Levante. The heatwave will resist more strongly throughout the rest of the national territory, maintaining temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius in Central-Southern Italy and inland areas of the larger islands. The peak of the heat will be recorded in Foggiano, Matera, and the interior of the Larger Islands, where maximum values will reach peaks around 40 degrees before air exchange is able to extend throughout the country. #Giuliacci #Italy #first #MeteoGiuliacci #Scandinavia #Balkans #African #theCentral-Eastern #Emilia-Romagna #theLigurianLevante #35degreesCelsius #Foggiano #Matera #around40degrees https://www.iltempo.it/attualita/2026/07/17/news/meteo-la-svolta-di-giuliacci-aria-fresca-e-temporali-dove-e-quando-48595500/

Agi: Eswatini, il minuscolo regno africano che sfida la Cina AGI - Taiwan ci riprova: dopo che le pressioni cinesi avevano costretto il presidente Lai Ching-te a rinviare la visita a Eswatini, Taipei ha annunciato sabato il suo arrivo nel piccolo regno africano, l’unico del continente a sfidare Pechino. La visita di Lai era inizialmente prevista dal 22 al 26 aprile, ma è stata annullata dopo che diversi Paesi africani hanno revocato i permessi di sorvolo in seguito a intense pressioni economiche da parte cinese, come spiegato all’epoca da uno dei più stretti consiglieri del Presidente. Un alleato africano di Taipei Eswatini è un piccolo Paese senza sbocco sul mare nell’Africa meridionale e unico alleato diplomatico di Taipei in Africa. Incastonato tra Sudafrica e Mozambico, ha avviato un ambizioso progetto di trasformazione che punta a fare del Paese un hub finanziario internazionale sul modello della Svizzera. La svolta passa attraverso la creazione di una Free Economic Zone completamente digitale, realizzata in partnership con il gruppo bancario europeo iSwiss Bank. Storia e sistema politico Sebbene sia uno degli Stati meno estesi del continente, occupa una posizione diplomatica di rilievo. Ex Swaziland, il Paese ha assunto il nome attuale nel 2018 per decisione di re Mswati III, al potere dal 1986. È una monarchia assoluta, con circa 1,2 milioni di abitanti, anglofono e confinante quasi interamente con il Sudafrica. Dipendenza regionale La sua collocazione geopolitica è definita anzitutto dalla dipendenza economica e logistica dal Sudafrica: Eswatini è parte dell’area economica dell’Africa australe e la sua economia risente fortemente dei rapporti commerciali regionali, delle infrastrutture sudafricane e dell’accesso ai mercati vicini. Il nodo Cina-Taiwan La sua dimensione ridotta non gli impedisce tuttavia di avere un peso simbolico superiore alla sua forza economica. Il fatto che sia l’unico Paese africano a mantenere relazioni ufficiali con Taiwan ne fa un tassello sensibile nella competizione tra Pechino e Taipei. Nei giorni scorsi il tema è tornato d’attualità dopo la missione del ministro degli Esteri taiwanese a Eswatini, seguita alla cancellazione del viaggio del presidente Lai Ching-te. Per Pechino, Eswatini rappresenta l’ultima anomalia africana nel principio della Cina unica. Eswatini, the tiny African kingdom challenging China. AGI - Taiwan tries again: after Chinese pressure had forced President Lai Ching-te to postpone his visit to Eswatini, Taipei announced its arrival in the small African kingdom on Saturday, the only one on the continent challenging Beijing. The visit was initially planned for April 22-26, but was canceled after several African countries revoked flight permits following intense economic pressure from China, as explained at the time by one of the President’s closest advisors. An African Ally of Taipei Eswatini is a small country without a coastline in southern Africa and Taipei’s only diplomatic ally in Africa. Located between South Africa and Mozambique, it has launched an ambitious transformation project aimed at making the country an international financial hub like Switzerland. The key lies in the creation of a fully digital Free Economic Zone, carried out in partnership with the European banking group iSwiss Bank. History and Political System Although it is one of the least extensive countries on the continent, it holds a significant diplomatic position. Formerly Swaziland, the country took on its current name in 2018 at the decision of King Mswati III, who has been in power since 1986. It is an absolute monarchy, with approximately 1.2 million inhabitants, predominantly English-speaking, and bordering almost entirely with South Africa. Regional Dependence Its geopolitical location is primarily defined by its economic and logistical dependence on South Africa: Eswatini is part of the Southern African Economic Zone and its economy is strongly affected by regional trade relations, South African infrastructure, and access to neighboring markets. The China-Taiwan Issue However, its small size does not prevent it from having a symbolic weight greater than its economic strength. The fact that it is the only African country to maintain official relations with Taiwan makes it a sensitive piece in the competition between Beijing and Taipei. In recent days, the issue has resurfaced after the visit of the Taiwanese Foreign Minister to Eswatini, following the cancellation of President Lai Ching-te’s trip. For Beijing, Eswatini represents the last anomaly in Africa regarding the principle of One China. #Eswatini #African #China #Taiwan #Chinese #LaiChing-te #Taipei #Beijing #Africa #SouthAfrica #Mozambique #Switzerland #FreeEconomicZone #European #iSwissBank #Swaziland #KingMswatiIII #English #SouthAfrican #Taiwanese #LaiChing-te’s https://www.agi.it/estero/news/2026-05-02/taiwan-eswatini-cina-36858768/

Agi: Piano Mattei, Meloni: È un programma di cooperazione tra pari AGI/Vista - "È da questo banale presupposto che muove l’azione italiana, in Patria e ovviamente a livello internazionale, in particolare verso il continente africano. Lo abbiamo declinato con il Piano Mattei, un programma di investimenti nei Paesi africani che disegna una strategia di cooperazione, ma cooperazione tra pari, costruita su una visione chiara: aiutare a creare le condizioni strutturali affinché nelle Nazioni africane si sviluppino filiere produttive, imprese locali forti, occupazione stabile e dignitosa. Affinché l’Africa possa crescere e prosperare processando le sue risorse, coltivando le sue terre, valorizzando al meglio il suo capitale umano". Così la premier Giorgia Meloni intervenendo al convegno 'Laying the groundwork for jobs in Africa: core infrastructure & business environments', organizzato presso la sede centrale della Banca d’Italia a palazzo Koch dalla Banca Mondiale e dalla presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri.

So that Africa can grow and prosper by processing its resources, cultivating its lands, and best utilizing its human capital.” – Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni speaking at the ‘Laying the groundwork for jobs in Africa: core infrastructure & business environments’ conference, organized at the headquarters of the Bank of Italy in Palazzo Koch by the World Bank and the Prime Minister’s Office.

La presenza stabile dell'International Finance Corporation nella nostra Capitale non è un fatto simbolico. È una scelta strategica. Significa creare un ponte operativo tra il sistema produttivo italiano, i mercati africani e gli strumenti finanziari del Gruppo Banca Mondiale. Vuol dire facilitare l'incontro tra imprese, investitori e progetti bancabili. Significa rafforzare la capacità di mobilitare capitale privato verso iniziative ad alto impatto occupazionale. Vogliamo che Roma diventi uno snodo europeo per gli investimenti in Africa, un luogo nel quale pubblico e privato lavorano insieme per trasformare buone idee in posti di lavoro. Perché il punto centrale, per noi, di nuovo, è questo: il lavoro. Lavoro dignitoso, stabile, di qualità. Lavoro che consenta ai giovani africani di costruire il proprio futuro nella propria terra". Così la premier Giorgia Meloni intervenendo al convegno 'Laying the groundwork for jobs in Africa: core infrastructure & business environments', organizzato presso la sede centrale della Banca d'Italia a palazzo Koch dalla Banca Mondiale e dalla presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri.
