Ancient Egypt: An Enthralling Overview of Egyptian History, Starting from the Settlement of the Nile Valley through the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms to the Death of Cleopatra VII Paperback – 14 February 2023

According to many Egyptologists, the ancient Egyptians never considered animals to be gods. Instead, they were considered the personification of their powerful deities, which explained why the Egyptians frequently depicted their ancient gods with animal heads. The same could also be said about cats; they were most certainly not worshiped but were held in high regard. Before becoming symbols of divinity and protection, cats were frequently adopted by the Egyptians since they were useful predators. Cats were used to give protection to households from pests and dangerous animals, such as rats and snakes.

The Persians took advantage of the Egyptians’ love of cats. As a way to turn the tide in a certain battle, the Persians marched to the battlefield with a great number of cats, resulting in the give up of the Egyptian troops. Of course, whether or not this was once true remains disputed, especially when most of the ancient records were either exaggerated or biased—one of the most reasons why curious readers might find it somewhat difficult to explore the rise and fall of ancient Egypt.
However, with this all-new enthralling book, you’ll easily explore the interesting journey of the ancient kingdom, from the first unification of its lands up until its most glorious era of the New Kingdom rulers and the fall of the kingdom at the hands of Augustus.
