By 2900 years ago, for some inexplicable reason, the ancient Egyptians suddenly raised cats to the level of gods: no one can kill cats except priests; If a cat dies at home, the whole family will shave their eyebrows to show their condolences. Almost all Egyptian families worship the idol of cat head. When a child is sick and a woman gives birth to a child, they should pray to this idol in order to get its protection.
The Egyptians not only liked cats themselves, but also introduced them to the world. About 2500 years ago, Greeks who went to Egypt for business brought cats back to Europe out of curiosity. In the Roman Empire, cargo ships loaded with grain were transported from Alexandria, Egypt to various cities in Rome. In order to prevent mice from eating grain, the sailors on board consciously put Egyptian cats on board to raise them. In this way, Egyptian cats began to settle in many port cities and gradually spread around. Before the fall of the Roman Empire, cats were everywhere in Europe.
The cat culture in ancient Egypt is very rich, and their love for cats has gradually turned into worship, which can be explored in the ancient culture of ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptians believed in the cat god. They make amulets, decorations and works of art with all the materials they can find, from stones to gold, from Papyrus painting to the jewels they wear with them, and then to the huge statues in temples. They believe that these items can protect themselves and their families from evil and bring them happiness and prosperity. They love cats and keep them at home or in temples as much as possible. Feeding them even became a religious ceremony. Even after the cat died, people spared no effort to mummify it, hoping that its soul could gain eternal life in this way. Thousands of cat mummies have been found in the former site of Bubasti city, and their craftsmanship is as fine as that of human mummies. The ancient Egyptians were so awed by cats that if someone killed a cat, even unintentionally, he would be sentenced to death.
Cats have made great contributions to the long history of ancient Egypt. Their offspring's domestic cats also retain the magic handed down by their ancestors, such as night vision, such as its keen sense of touch and jumping ability, and powerful hunting skills. Of course, some domestic cats have more unique skills, some can predict human death, some have the ability to contact and send letters, maintain earthly love, and some are even stronger and stronger, and can help people pull carts. This is a gift that you are proud of as a cat, so don't think that cats are useless and only sleep. Imagine that it has something to do with ancient Egypt and was once the cat god. Is its back suddenly tall and stalwart?
