    What made it worse was the fact that the Roman had killed the cat after a Solar Eclipse. To the Egyptians it was an unforgivable blasphemy, because they believed that cats protected the Sun. They also believed that when the Sun went down that the rays of the Sun went into the cats eyes and they guarded the Sun until morning. It also explained why the cats eyes shine in the dark. 🐈☀️

    Cat Facts
    Cat's can dislocate their collar bones to flatten themselves out more so that they can fit in very small spaces.
    Cat's can't taste sweetness.
    Cat's lay in the sunlight to set their circadian rhythm.
    Cat's can easily withstand higher and lower temperature ranges than either humans or dogs.
    Closing your eyes in a cat's presences tells them that you are a friend.
    Cat's are designed to get all of their water through the meat they eat.
    All the world's cats are descended from domesticated Egyptian cats.

I first learned of Bastet when she appeared in the December 1998 issue of Top Cow Comics' "Witchblade / Tomb Raider." For too long Bastet has been relegated to commonplace obscurity. Only during the past decade, more or less, have I noticed an increase of deserved attention being returned to this incredible Egyptian Goddess. Thanks for this wonderful video about Bastet.

    Cats are my favorites (sorry, doggies (I love you too!!)). I believe they are intuitive and telepathic. I lived with two for a very long time at my daughter's residence and became convinced of this after a long period of observance. I once had occasion to state to the youngest of the two that she was not a human being. Her immediate reaction was one I'll never forget. She appeared wounded - deeply - which evokes even now a feeling of shame as I believe there was a realization for her that cut her to the quick. Had anyone seen her reaction I believe that person would have thought so too. I'm not at all surprised that they were valued for practical and spiritual reasons.

    if you're friends with a cat, consider making a cat tether, from a cat collar and mason line to allow them free range on your property outside. they appreciate the chance to hunt and be outdoors. although you must check constantly for tangles and snags, it's the best solution out there for keeping them on your property and allowing them some time to hunt. eventually when they kill something or at least catch it, don't discourage them, be proud and happy for them. mine has caught over 30 chipmunks but always let's them live, she killed a mouse, she sometimes catches birds but let's them live. the trick here is to watch out every 15 minutes or so to free whatever poor creature she's caught and then duly reward the cat with praise and love. let nature be nature. as much as you can bear. they deserve it.

    The Egyptians are the reason we have ginger cats. The were not initially common in the world (greys were) but they bred them till there were strains of gingers...often sold to visitors etc for their remarkable coloring, their main function was to become sacrifices to the goddess Bastet and serve her, their golden color being likened to the sun god Ra.

    Cats are very sacred to me. They are amazing, extremely adorable, and funny too. They don't tend to be noisy (some can be, it depends on the cat, every cat is different) and they don't require too much work. I love both of my cats. I will always respect Bastet. Please respect cats, if you don't like them just stay away from them. Please don't hurt them, for they are animals, nature's treasure. The same goes with Tigers and Lions. Let them live and flourish, they are so beautiful 😺😺

    • @nosha200y
      @nosha200y 4 роки тому

      Actually June and July were the time the Nile flooded and all agriculture activities were stopped... So it was the time for leisure and worship in hopes of a prosperous new year.
      I am not sure how the year ending in December came about exactly, but I think it had something to do with cultural exchanges... Maybe with the entrance of Christianity

    • @dominikm.8990
      @dominikm.8990 4 роки тому +1

      @@nosha200y I get that, there was a discrepancy between the actual flooding and the Heliacal Rising of Sirius because there was a gradual shift of the climate and the precession of Sirius. However, the Egyptian year never ended in December, since December was at the end of the flood season. Coptic New Year even today is 11 September, but unlike the ancient Calendar which took the celestial movements into account, the Coptic Calendar follows a set date for New Year's.

    Seckmet and Bastet I would say are up in the air. Depending on what mythology you’re looking at they’re sisters, Seckmet changed into Bastet eventually or they’re their own separate beings. It’s definitely confusing because again myths do change. Like how Anubis is either Horus’ half brother or Anubis was adopted by Isis so that’s how Horus and Anubis are brothers. They’re still brothers in the end but mythology changes so you’d often find different variations of myths
