The Original Catwoman?
Although the ancient Egyptians lived long ago, their cultural impact lives on today and many people still find the Egyptian civilization fascinating. Among the most interesting aspects of Egyptian society was its high regard of animals in art and culture—especially cats where these aloof creatures were even worshiped as gods. The best-known feline goddess was Bastet. Initially depicted as a lioness, Bastet assumed the image of a cat or a woman with a feline head in the 2nd millennium B.C. more than 500 years before the pyramids were built. She was the goddess of protection and pleasure and was said to bring good health. In museum exhibits across the world, she’s depicted as a seated cat in a motionless-yet-vigilant pose that today’s cat owners easily recognize in their own feline companions.
