years ago. I'm even more skeptical about how well they transfer to a few thousand years ago. I've read articles about Queen Elizabeth being called King and given other masculine attributes in literature written in praise of her. Things like female Pharoahs wearing false beards would be similar. As would the Norse concept of "ergi" (unmanliness). Gender and sexuality are concepts that are more complicated than being able to simplify with calling this caveman find gay. There does seem to be some significant cross-gendering at this grave though, and that is interesting and should be noted.
