Archaeological evidence suggests that the first recorded instance of kissing dates back to Mesopotamia and Egypt, around 2500 B.C.E. This predates previously held beliefs that kissing originated in India around 1500 B.C.E. Ancient texts from these regions depict both gods and commoners engaging in acts of smooching, revealing that kissing was a common practice in these cultures.
While the exact circumstances surrounding the "first kiss" remain unknown, it's clear that the practice of kissing has a long and rich history, predating even the earliest written accounts.
