Czech scientists have excavated what they believe to be the skeleton of a prehistoric man homosexual or transsexual who lived between 4500 and 5000 years ago. The team of researchers from the Czech Archaeological Society found that the remains - taken from an Neolithic archaeological site in Prague - indicating that the individual, male, was buried with rites normally for women. Debris is a member of the Corded Ware culture, who lived in northern Europe in the Stone Age, between 2,500 BC and 2,900 BC In this type of culture, men are usually buried on their right side with the head toward west, along with tools, weapons, food and beverages. The women, usually on the left side, facing the east and surrounded by jewelry and household objects. The skeleton was buried on its left side with the head pointing west and surrounded by household objects such as vases. "From historical and ethnological knowledge, know people in this period took very seriously the rituals funeral, so it is unlikely that this position was a mistake, "said lead researcher, Kamila Remisova Vesinova." It's more likely that he had a different sexual orientation. "
