i know what you mean! for me, it was the tv show "who do you think you are" they trace a celebrity's ancestry, and the historians tell them their findings and go into detail about their ancestors' lives. made me realize how important history class is (i always thought it was boring in school). on a side note, it also made me realize why it is so important to have a son (to carry on a family name). there was one episode, where they traced the lineage and found out she came from royalty. the daughter of king edward (can't remember which king edward) married a man, took on his last name, and by the time the family tree moved down several generations to the celebrity, the royal name was buried. such an amazing and important history in their family, and it disappeared, just because the female didn't get to carry on the name.

*fun fact:* cats were NOT worshiped because of their connection to death but because they got rid of poisonous snakes that could kill the Pharaoh, and got rid of the mice that carried disease. The original cat Goddess was Mafdet and was seen as a fierce protector of the home, and kind of morphed into Bast-goddess of protection and cats. Bast was the protectress, and defender of the Pharaoh. In later times Bast became the goddess of protection and blessing and was the protectress of women, children and domestic cats. She was the goddess of sunrise, music, dance and pleasure as well as family, fertility and birth. In other words cats are dope.

[@starfall0]

She kinda dismissed cats as no big deal, though I always heard and read everywhere (I know everywhere is not a reliable source) that cats where worshiped like gods -- or at least that they where pretty important. Hence the amount of cat statues, mummified cats, drawings of cats, etc. Is this a myth? I really would like her to speak further about that.

[@Sassy_Witch]

@@starfall0 maybe shes just tired of hearing it all the time and just dismissed it lol. Or maybe as you said they werent seen AS gods but as very important protectors

[@ribottostudio]

@@starfall0 Cats were mummified because again of their connection to protecting the home from snakes and disease carrying mice. Bast is also the daughter of Ra the sun god, and again protector of the Pharaoh. She was very important and thus cats were seen as beloved and important by association. Cats were also mere pets in the home as well. Cats weren't the only animal to be mummified-sacred creatures such as birds, ducks, fish, dogs and cats. Only things and people of importance were mummified, since it was expensive, and given good resting places, which is how the theory that the Pyramids of Giza were built by slaves was debunked. The workers who built the pyramids were given a resting place right next to them-slaves would never have such an honor since the Pyramids were homes to the Pharaohs. Also because Jews didn't exist during the time in which Pyramids were built.

[@cassidyvogt7015]

Yes I was surprised to hear they didn’t name cats but then I realized what naming something means and how I believe she is miss understanding their spiritual and mental out look in this one are .. To name something is to own it .. if you up hold cats as guardians of the gods and by law even they were held sacred I know also happened .. then maybe not acting as if you can go around giving them all names you come up with self was actually a response to that sacred status.. instead giving them all one title that describes but not limits them to being a pet was the concept :) I find it hard to think in this one area she was right on they valued dogs more or was lack of value to not name them ... as during a famous battle with the Romans the Egyptians has lost simply because Roman army places cats on all the ships then tossed cats at people and all scattered them among the battle field .. which lead to Egypt surrendering all because was against law to harm a cat and so they refused to fight and risk killing one cat to point they rather of gave up own empire and lives .. Does that make sense they weren’t as valued to be named or dogs were more beloved? I think not my friends !!! For shame on this dog loving vixen of a historian trying to woo us in to her k-9 worshiping ways .. not in this house hold !! Not on this day madam !!! We are sekhmets children and worship the great bast in this house, as are god fearing cat loving individuals!!! As the good lord ra intended !! This blasphemy had to be nipped in the butt I apologize for my language.. I just never!!.. x fans self as twists away and opens umbrella ☂ x come miss meow meow 🐱 we have offerings to deliver and burn at the cat temple for its spring time and we must feed and greet those kitties springing in to action to hunt and protect us from all sorts of unpleasantries x walks away as continues to fan self under the hot unforgiving Egyptian sun as tries my hardest to keep my cat in the shadow being casted from the umbrellas shade x come along and keep in tip top shape with those furry adorably blessed tip top toes .. On a side note the historian revealing the word / title for cats sounds just like meow and maybe exactly where that term and word came from that we all now use , was a awesome tip that made up for her previously catastrophe loaded moment of how cats should be thought of as they were treated and looked upon as in the past :) good day to all those fellow cat worshipping hero’s who stayed true to your masters. What a gloriously sand box heaven awaits such loyal cat servants of this dog forsaken waste land of a common country we find our self living in .. A country that picked Zeus eagle instead of ra falcon .. and picked old white men to lead it instead of young priestess that embrace their pussy cat power to lead our countries way .. what accomplishments could of been if had done right other wise as in the cats eye 🐈

First off, LOVE your channel, been binging for quite some time while entering data. You've been one of the main influences on my journey to vintage fashion. So thank you very, very much. I'm a professional entomologist (I study our little 6-legged friends, the 'bugs') and I LOVE THIS MOVIE, one of my absolute favs of all time. BUT my gosh, poor scarabs. Such a bad example of our lovely little buds. Scarab's don't fly well, don't crawl fast, and do not eat living flesh (there are some exceptions to the rules, as with all things/beings, but you never get the trio or even two together haha). I keep the cuties as pets and take them to outreach events all the time. Unless you are dead and half decayed or something with a very very thin epidermal layer, aka skin (and absolutely tiny) like a small frog, you have NOTHING to fear from a scarab. Most... ok mostly all, are cute little dung eaters that help to clear waste we'd prefer not to step on. PS most of their cute little mouths don't even have the capability to bite if they'd like. Again, love the channel, you helped me a lot throughout the pandemic. You ever want some help on insect related things, just contact your local beetle gal.

I started watching this video’s intro and actually burst into tears.... When I was younger, my grandma passed away, and my grandpa decided to sell my mother’s childhood home and move into a retirement community. I was young when the sale went through, but my most vivid memory is that it was sold to a pair of Egyptologists, and the woman had a beautiful severe black haircut. I was excited that they planned to not alter the house much because it was protected by the historical society. And when I saw this intro, I suddenly saw the living room where I spent so many Christmases when I was young, and had so many amazing memories. I felt so much nostalgic joy and heartache seeing this house again, and seeing how little it’s changed.

I guess people just mimicked cats' sound to get their attentions at first then it became the name of the creature.

In German it's Katze. Guess, that explains why my cat isn't very talkative.
