    Description

    Bastet is one of the ancient Egyptian deities.  She worshiped as a gentle cat, merged with the goddess Sekhmet in the modern state, where Sekhmet was represented in the form of a predatory lioness.  When Bastet is angry, she becomes stubborn, and takes revenge on the enemies and those with bad character.  The town of Bobastis (Tel Basta) was the center of its worship.  The cat symbolizes the goddess Bastet, daughter of the sun idol Ra, who was depicted as a woman with a cat's head.  So, Bastet is considered a goddess of tenderness and gentleness, because she is closely related to women.  The ancient Egyptian domesticated the cat because he noticed that it was hunting mice that enter silos that eat and spoil them.  The ancient Egyptian also raised them in the homes.  And when she died, he was embalmed just as his dead embalmed.  It was found in Egypt, one of the large tombs containing about a million stuffed cats, embalming very accurately and tightly.  Show great respect for her
