Lovely. Bastet is and always has been the sweetest Goddess the world has ever known. She creates kittens, which are nature’s reminder to nurture the spirit of softness and curiosity. Bastet is also the embodiment of mystery and self respect; an independent feminine power who chooses her own destiny and roams the night without fear. Not only practical and necessary for public health, the cat requires little from the human in order to survive and functions as a stress relief therapy animal who blesses their chosen human with soothing vibrations of love and will curl up on laps reminding those who work hard to practice self care. There truly is no better Goddess than Bastet. Meow 😻
I didn't know anything about the Egyptian cat god. However, once I had a dream of this Cat God statue. She was in front of the entrance of a small wooden house, and hard rain was falling. In front of her, the water was flooding, and it looked like she was not safe. All my life cats have been important companions. I watched this film with nostalgic feelings. Thank you for your journey. May all cats and all animals live full life on the earth.
My cat may not be the brightest crayon in the box, but she definitely knows when I'm sad or need a friend, and never fails to groom and cuddle me. That could be interpreted as psychic, or is she just really good at reading my body language? I cam definitely understand why they were worshipped. ❤ Very well put together documentary, thank you for sharing!
My cats just told me that, "you're wrong and they were worshipped and all that in Ancient Egypt and that they should be worshipped like that today across the globe and you better recognize!" I have mouthy cats.
I truly enjoy this documentary. Excellent research, professionally narrated, filmed and edited. Totally engaging with perfect pace. Thank you so much for taking the time to clarify some historical myths.
It almost seems like Bastet became a goddess of the hearth home and heart as her worship became less about status and more about the spiritual aspect of guardianship via cats. 🐈 perhaps her statues became more of a worship of cats 🐈 due to her buildings of worship being taken down and destroyed Kind of like “meh we don’t need temples and statues because we have her spirit living amongst us via our cats 🐈⬛, cats became her status of worship.. there for all cats became sacred. Embody flesh and blood living animal.
My love for Egypt is profound but my love for cats even more so. All my cat beasties have egyptian names and my black dog is Anu ❤❤❤ Seti Cairo Aswan Memphis Memnon Segmet Tawaret Neffir Tarri Helwa Siwa Whajed Waset Giza Bastetti Cleo Nut Some not alive anymore sadly but yes ive had many that have chosen me to be their keeper
I had a cat named Cleopatra, she was beautiful long haired with tabby stripes. She has the most gorgeous green eyes, she passed away back in 2010. I still miss her.
What about Leontopolis? Roman name for Egyptian City of Lions . Also worshiped Cat Goddesses and is said to keep lions in the temples. Not far from Bubastis in the nile delta as well.
I have always been of the opinion that the Egyptians didn't worship the cat, they venerated it...and then created a goddess to look over it's welfare. Ancient Egypt was considered the "storehouse of the Mediterranean", with other civilizations (esp. Rome) relying Egypt's resources of grain. Even the Pharaoh paid his workers...not in gold, but in "bread and beer." This currency required vast amounts of grain to create; a wonderful environment for mice and rats. It's my not-so-scholarly opinion that the alliance between man and feline was facilitated by the need to protect Egypt's storehouses, palaces, temples and homes from those pesky vermin...that the "extermination system" was attractive, largely independent (and purred) only sweetened the deal. That cats appealed more to the common folk than to the royals just make sense...
so many different pagan religions (I am pagan btw) in the old days would sacrifice animals to the God or Goddess that they followed. Cats to Bast, dogs to Hecate. I really never understood that. from my point of view if I was a goddess and Loved a specific animal I would be very Wrathful should any one murder it let alone in my name in an attempt to please me. so this makes no sense to me.
Psychic. I firmly believe this, when I say to my very thick coated black cat, I need to give you a bath, she goes under a bed. Sometimes even when I think the words without saying it. Thats how I know they are.
While a nice video, it could have been so much more informative. Ex. Egyptians didn't worship cats, per se, but honored them as the earthbound representatives of a deity. It would have been interesting to hear HOW this 'worship' was undertaken instead of simply being told it happened (or didn't).
with the greatest of respect , there are some very major things you have left out Basset was actually a Thracian Merchants Daughter was a priestess he took her ot egypt , she was returned to thracia when she died , there is a place were she is buried think north greece or south bulgaria ,, saying jesus is not right , its yeshua , you would not call a Pharaoh by there wrong name so why with yeshua , the letter j was invented in 1524 the king james bible is a masonic bible , how do you think the 1 % control the 99 %
Yeshua is a 5000 year old Israelite SOCIAL CONTRACT.😂 The Israelites took inspiration from the Epic of Gilgamesh and, created Christianity from it. Mankind is thousands of years older than God. One of the reasons why people believe in God so much is, Christianity is a program that's been programming the weak minded for the last 5000 + years. That's why most religious people, aren't opened minded enough to consider for just one minute that God might not be real.
In English, Bastette is a female with no parents (Shakespeare). Bubastis may have evolved in English to be Bastard which means male with no parents. Jesus was an abandoned birth. In Roman Catholic the Angel Gabriel was the father of Jesus. Joseph stepped in as step father. So maybe Bubastis was a city or place built for those who had no parents. Love these documentaries.
Could it just simply be that cats helped to control rodents?? That would save food for the people and help with disease control. Therefore making them very precious to all!!🤔🤔🤔
It has to do with night vision. Smaller and mid sized cats hunt in the dark far more often than the larger cats, so their eyes evolved to be able to take in more light. Because their eyes are so sensitive, their pupils shrink when exposed to bright light and then expand to the normal circular shape under low light. It's night time right now and my cats both have normal, round looking pupils. ..but if I turned all the lights on, they'd shrink up and look like reptile eyes.
Watching the recent news and seeing Egyptian gods with animal heads makes me wonder if the ancient visitors here were furries and came to Earth to have their furries conventions.
Soooooooo...In Egypt, Cats symbolized Sex. The Blue Lotus represented Drugs. All that's missing now is What? Rock 'n Roll? No, wait. That's ALSO a euphemism for Sex. KMN.
That’s not a cat. They worshipped hyenas. They were savages against people who protected lions. This is why the sphinx was shaved to look like a cat. That’s what actually happened. At that time some people worshipped birds . That’s how other tribes came about. It’s all in their hieroglyphics and enscribings. This is what evolved into a higher power belief that eventually evolved into the religious values we have today.
Y’all needa watch the lion king and re think it in what I just said. Don’t forget that movies tend to put the truth in your face without you knowing it.
I love you're shirt my friend I have the same one just red... EPIC video full of hidden information we need to know thanks for your work...🐱🐈🐈⬛🐅🐆😇✨🙏🌌🧬⭐🫶✌️🔥👽🛸🧑🚀💯

Three of my favorite things in one video: history, mysteries, and cats!

Ah the statue of MeritAmun... very stunning! Thank you for showing it.
The art work is so beautiful and so well done and so much work has been put into these memories of the past
The fact Egyptians used to call cats Meow 😻 😍 so cute

41:36 awe they would sacrifice cats to Bastet? That’s sad 😢
Adorable!!
The cat of Prince Thutmose was called Ta-Miu which means She-Cat
I am sure there is a mystical and beautiful reason why our cat comes into the house to pee.
Awesome..awesome..awesome..information...we are blessed with 2 cats and two kittens divine energies.
Curtis, another really interesting video. Thank you for sharing your research with us. Wishing yourself and Phillip all the best ❤
I totally get why those folks worshipped cats.
As my surname was Bast , this is my heritage l believe. Cats are lovable and sleepy , at the least l,m sleepy.
In Egypt when we call cats we say bssstt like Bastet without the vowels
My love for Egypt is profound but my love for cats even more so. All my cat beasties have egyptian names and my black dog is Anu ❤❤❤

I had a cat named Cleopatra, she was beautiful long haired with tabby stripes. She has the most gorgeous green eyes, she passed away back in 2010. I still miss her.
I had a cat back in the 80’s named Isis.
I was in Saqqara in 1982, before many of these discoveries were made.

I love Egyptian history, very well presented. Thank you for the video.🙏💕
Another wonderful video. Thanks
Great show and thank you for showing us this amazing city that was once beautiful.
I think I had one of these special cats. I treated him like a king as best I could.
You do the best documentary’s on Egypt that I have ever seen. I’ve been to many of the places so it’s fun to see them again.

Awsome, Thank you.
I always look for longer videos about mythology so I learn as much as I can. And here I find a whole documentary 😂
Apparently Bastet my Egyptian zodiac sign. 🐈
Thank you Bastet, I love you.❤

Mine vomits in her water dish. It blesses the water and makes it sacred 😅
I am a lover of cats. I have 4 cats, love them & always will!❤
8:00 lol I died laughing. You clearly know nothing about the goddess or the Egyptian writings 😂
Bastet does love her kittens.❤😊

@ichbin5200 no no. Physic. Newton was actually a cat.
@@KelciaMarie1 That explains his fascination with looking up into trees.
Physic, relating to the physical order.
GUYS ITS A BOT 😂 you fell for it
The fact that the altar looks vastly newer than everything around it makes me doubt a lot of this.
Love your tshirt
❤😅 I've been told that I was Bastet by a psychic. 😂 and I got adopted by a special kitty after that. Born in the year of the water tiger. ❤😊
I'm here for the Maureen Ponderosa clips...
Where did you get the information that the holy family went there?

A diety is a blanket energy. It can manifest into physicality for an entire lifetime per soul contract or slip in temporarily

I grew up as a Roman Catholic and that is Not what is taught.
The name Bastet means the "soul of Isis" Ba-Auset.🌛The Greeks identified Bastet with Diana.
Hail Bast!
Is six black cats enough? Oh and 1 grizzled.
Isn’t it Nefertiti?
Come on. Everyone knows a crazy cat mummy ^^ 😁
Perfect comment! 😂
Cats are so adorable..😺☺️
Thanks for the upload, Extreme Mysteries..💖
The opposite of a dog is god.. humans and dogs share the same meaning named..god..
It is known.

Why do domestic cats have eyes like a reptiles, but lions and cheetahs etc don't?
It has to do with night vision. Smaller and mid sized cats hunt in the dark far more often than the larger cats, so their eyes evolved to be able to take in more light. Because their eyes are so sensitive, their pupils shrink when exposed to bright light and then expand to the normal circular shape under low light.

Good question
@@jimaforwood743 however they ate virtually blind within several inches
What is a feminine city?!
A huge female population. The city had far more women than men.
Watching the recent news and seeing Egyptian gods with animal heads makes me wonder if the ancient visitors here were furries and came to Earth to have their furries conventions.
😸👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Go watch this doc by the actual creator, CURTIS RYAN WOODSIDE.

@36:23, why would she say such harsh things? Not a fan.
Soooooooo...In Egypt, Cats symbolized Sex. The Blue Lotus represented Drugs. All that's missing now is What? Rock 'n Roll? No, wait. That's ALSO a euphemism for Sex. KMN.
But Jesus wasn’t “Jesus” until he was grown. I don’t know of any miracles as a child.
That’s not a cat. They worshipped hyenas. They were savages against people who protected lions. This is why the sphinx was shaved to look like a cat. That’s what actually happened.

Also some of these people were allergic to certain animals. It made them hate certain people. Same thing with cat people and dog people
People to this day are obsessed with cats on the internet. Some dude caught a cool cat and then ruled Egypt. 😂
That isnt how anything works. lol
