It is recorded that there were cats as gods in ancient Egypt. In the oldest Egyptian myth, there is a lion named Best, Sivir. After the evolution of the times, she became a modern goddess. Finally, when the rule of ancient Egypt reached its peak, it gradually became a god representing the moon. What is the status of cats in Egypt? According to the records of cultural relics 2 100 years ago, Best appeared as a wild cat at that time, and then gradually became the image of a god cat. Originally, there was no ornament on Best's head. After a while, a crown appeared on its statue.
It can be said that Egyptians believed in cat gods from birth to death. For example, the newlyweds will make a cat amulet made of blue or green glazed pottery. Wearing a few cat amulets around her neck indicates that she wants to have several children. These families will make some bronze cats and put them as decorations at home or in temples. After death, Egyptians will carve a kitten out of ivory as a funerary object. Legend has it that cats protect the souls of the dead and reach the underworld safely. They are the patrons of the dead. Besides, you can see Best in many scenes. Best is one of the most important gods in Egypt.
The reason why cats have such a high status in ancient Egypt is that they can kill dangerous species such as scorpions, poisonous snakes and mice. In ancient times, grain was common people's day, pests destroyed grain, and protecting grain fields was beneficial to animals. Obviously, the servo machine helped the ancient Egyptians drive away extremely harmful creatures such as snakes, insects, mice and ants, so the people regarded the servo machine as a god and built a large number of statues, stone tablets and pictures, which became one of the most important creatures in ancient Egyptian history.
With the development of economic, cultural and political globalization, serval culture has gradually spread to all parts of the world. Because cats have leopard prints, they also have the momentum of kings. So it is loved by many rich people and stars. For a period of time, it even became a royal pet in Britain, and it was the object of comparison among many powerful people.
This also made its value rise, and the initial price reached 60,000 US dollars, equivalent to 400,000 yuan. At the same time, serval cats are pets that can only be kept by tribal leaders such as South Africa and West Africa. Because it is difficult to catch and the quantity is small, the truly pure serval cats can now sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Sultan Haji, King of Brunei, is one of the fans of serval cats. He even built a 4000-square-meter zoo for serval cats, and now the price of serval cats is basically kept at around 300,000 RMB. It's not easy to keep a few cats. As the ancestor of cats, servos must eat pure meat, unlike cats and dogs, which can eat dog food and cat food. You need a lot of meat to feed them, or hungry serval cats will attack humans.
