Sex in Ancient Egypt

How did the Ancient Egyptians differ from us? In many ways they did, but in terms of sexuality, perhaps not so much.

Taking us on a journey back to this ancient world is Egyptologist Sarah Parcak. Amongst other things, she talks us through the Turin Papyrus - possibly the oldest depiction of human sexuality we have.
