British Museum visit, 2006

Mummified cats

The Egyptians revered cats, even sometimes going to the trouble of mummifying them, as can be seen in this slightly creepy photograph. Cats weren't the only creatures they mummified; the museum also had examples of other mummified creatures, including falcons, crocodiles, and even beetles.
