Today, we see a statue of the goddess Bastet, made of bronze and gold, which is in the Louvre Museum, and it is one of the most famous statues in the ancient Egyptian civilization.
And "Bastet", one of the gods of the ancient Egyptians, was worshiped in the form of the gentle cat, and was merged with the goddess Sekhmet in the modern state, where Sekhmet was represented in the form of a predatory lioness. When she is angry, she becomes Sekhm, and takes revenge on the enemies and those of a bad character.
The city of Tal Basta was the center of her worship, and the cat symbolizes the goddess Bastet, the daughter of the sun god Ra, who was depicted in the drawings in the form of a woman with a cat's head, so Bastet is considered the idol of tenderness and meekness, as she was closely related to the woman.
The ancient Egyptian domesticated the cat, noticing that it was catching mice that enter grain silos to eat them and spoil them, just as the ancient Egyptian raised them in homes, and upon their death they embalmed them as their dead embalmed, and in Egypt a large cemetery was found containing about a million mummified cats. Mummification with precision and precision. It shows great respect for her.
