Description
The relationship between humans and cats in ancient Egypt is revealed in this informative guide. Cats were highly valued for their companionship and spiritual significance, appearing in homes, temples, and as symbols of the gods.
Domesticated from wild ancestors around 4,000 BC, cats became popular household pets over the centuries. Dr Jaromír Málek draws on a range of artistic and written sources to explore how cats earned their esteemed place in Egyptian society.
This book is an ideal choice for anyone interested in ancient Egyptian culture and the fascinating history of our feline friends.
