grandegyptianmuseum: First condom in the world, made of cow leather First traces of condoms were found around 1350 BC in Egypt. It was used on the mummies by embalmers, but it’s unknown whether Egyptians were wearing them for sexual or ritual reasons. The Egyptians were indeed the first to wear condoms, made of fine linen soaked in olive oil and even went as far as making them in different colors. And that is not all! Egyptians were using some creams that we can compare to modern spermicides. Almost 3800 years ago, crocodile or elephant excrements mixed with honey, dates or other substances were used in the ointments and creams prescribed by Egyptian medical doctors. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. Photo via fotosearch -- source link
