guy Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) The Saqqara necropolis in Egypt is one of the most popular tourist sites. It will be unveiling new archaeological finds, including sarcophagi, small bronze statues, and other antiquities. Small statue of the “Protector Goddess” Bastet: Quote Cats were very important to the ancient Egyptians and were even considered to be demi-deities. Not only did they protect the crops and slow the spread of disease by killing rodents, they were also thought to be the physical form of the goddess Bastet. Bastet was the goddess of protection, pleasure, and the bringer of good health. She had the head of a cat and a slender female body. A papyrus scroll thought to measure nine meters. https://www.thenationalnews.com/mena/2022/05/30/egypt-unveils-major-find-of-250-sarcophagi-and-150-statues-in-saqqara/ https://egyptianmuseum.org/deities-Bastet Edited May 30, 2022 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
