In honour of Pride Month, we wanted to highlight the grave of q***r icon, Oscar Wilde. Buried in a quiet, impoverished ceremony in Paris, the literary icon was later re-interred at Père Lachaise Cemetery in 1912. His grand, winged modernist tomb became a global shrine for q***r pilgrims and admirers, and was placed in 1912. The grave was commissioned by Robert Ross, Wilde's lover and literary executor. As of the 50th anniversary of Wilde's death, the grave also includes the ashes of Robert Ross.

"Mummification was practiced throughout most of early Egyptian history. The earliest mummies from prehistoric times probably were accidental. By chance, dry sand and air (since Egypt has almost no measurable rainfall) preserved some bodies buried in shallow pits dug into the sand. About 2600 BCE, during the Fourth and Fifth Dynasties, Egyptians probably began to mummify the dead intentionally. The practice continued and developed for well over 2,000 years, into the Roman Period (ca. 30 BCE–CE 364). Within any one period the quality of the mummification varied, depending on the price paid for it. The best prepared and preserved mummies are from the Eighteenth through the Twentieth Dynasties of the New Kingdom (ca. 1570–1075 BCE) and include those of Tutankhamen and other well-known pharaohs."
