Ancient Egyptian pick-up lines for the win!
I found this on page 110 of The Literature of Ancient Egypt, a text used for my Ancient Egyptian Religion course. It might not have exactly been a pick-up line in context, but I can’t help but be amused by how similar this line is to today’s “Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?”
