The Egyptians, and other ancient cultures, often buried their dead with artifacts, like an amulet.

Get a nice, non-oxidizing metal symbol of maleness and have it hung around your neck when you are interred.

That's a good idea, not sure why I hadn't thought of that. Thanks.

As for me I have requested to be buried at sea via flaming catapult    Should be a real treat for the sharks to get a home cooked meal

VM, somewhere out there is a lonely Viking looking for someone just like you!*giggle*

Is there such a thing as gender ambiguity in skeletons?  I never thought about it, but my own skeletal structure has always been sort of in the middle.  It makes me wonder whether archeologists of the future might dig me up and name me "Pat" because they can't tell which one I was.

Kia Ora,

For this life experience I'm donating the worn out body to science ie, trading it in for a new one so to speak "rebirth"...The chances are in a thousand or so years I would have lived through(worn out) a hundred odd lives/bodies...

Request that you be buried wearing a jock strap, the Apes (I believe we'll be the Planet of the Apes by then) that dig you up in 2,000 years will believe you to be cis-male human. Whether they'll care or not is another matter.

Well dang man, I told you to get buried in a jock strap to make it clear who you were, if you find something more indicative of male than a jock strap, please share. But wear it, hanging it around your neck may be confusing.

Lol, I'd have something engraved on it. I wouldn't go with something that simple.

Strangely enough, a LONG time ago when life was at its blackest, THAT was a major thought that stopped me from committing suicide! If I killed myself, my mother would have had be buried as a male, under my childhood name, and the whole thing would have been swept under the carpet and I wasn't going to allow that to happen! Is that morbid or what!!??

Kia Ora Jane,

That sounds more like a real life saver-be it a somewhat morbid prevention measure-but it worked-so that's a good thing
