May I first of all say that this post is entirely serious and not meant as a cheap gag!

Through a link to a link on another post on this forum, I noticed this article.

Now there must be hundreds of you Egyptophiles on this forum, who, like me, have visited and been fascinated by, the wonderous treasures in the Cairo Museum which were recovered from King Tut's tomb in the early part of the 20th century. I am totally certain, that during my first visit to see these wonders, our guide pointed out a condom made out of linen which was first coated in flour before use; moistened flour I assume. This item was recovered from the royal tomb and therefore must predate the example described in the article by a few thousand years.

My wife, who unfortunately was not with me on my first visit to the museum, thinks I am mad! Can anyone else please back up my story?
