Long before modern Pride celebrations, Duncan Grant lived and created authentically, leaving behind a legacy that continues to enrich queer history.

They were buried together in a shared tomb, highly unusual for two men in ancient Egypt. Throughout the tomb, they appear together repeatedly in scenes that emphasize their close bond. In these scenes, they are depicted with equal prominence, neither shown as subordinate to the other.
