To send a message, Amanirenas decapitated a bronze statue of Emperor Augustus. She carried the giant head back to her capital and buried it beneath the steps of a victory temple. For centuries, every Kushite entering figuratively stepped on the face of Rome.

A statue of a cat, carved out of stone in the second half of the 9th millennia BC (!!) by a Cypriot artist.

This is shows the earliest proof for “domestication” of cats, perhaps to control the mice population.

Ancient Egyptians shaved off their eyebrows when their pet cat died to show grief. Cats were SO respected that hurting one was a serious crime. Found this wild fact in "Secrets of the Pharaohs" and my kids are obsessed! #BookSky #AncientHistory
