Egypt cat mummies discovered in ancient tombs

Cats were of huge importance to them their very lives depended on it. Egypt had to store grain to feed its people the cats protected the grain from mice. Even in ancient times mice would overrun areas in Africa eating everything in sight. Luckily in egypt there was more cats than people to make sure it didn't happen in egypt. Worshipping Bastet was only part of it. Killing a cat held the same sentence as killing a person because of the importance.

Bottom line you cant live along a river bank and not have to deal with mice.

Cats have ruled humanity since the fall.

No mousie mummies?

No elephant mummies either. Coincidence?

The mousie mummies would have frightened the elephant mummies?

I cant remember ight now where I read about the AE's habbit of animal mummification..maybe it was Bob Brier..
but they did that to the extreme..he wrote that it was about DOZENS of species..basically almost all species in egypt..
