Welcome to Litsy!

From genus called Proailurus 30 million years ago to Pseudaelurus 20 million years ago to Felis silvestris lybica, Africa wildcat to Felis catus

They likely tamed themselves to live with us by preventing mice & rats in our grain storage. There‘s no firm data they came to us visa Ancient Egypt but we do know they were prized, worshipped, mummified

But adore the art & images & worship Sekhmet & Bastet.

Is this not the least we can do for them?

This fascinating book helped me realize how little I know about ancient Egyptian culture and civilization. The first in a series, it follows Ramses from childhood until the time he becomes pharaoh. He learns to make wise decisions, navigate palace intrigues, and outwit his enemies. Great storytelling.
This was my November selection for #BookedInTime. @Cuilin

Picked this one for my #bookedkntime and really enjoyed. Whilst there are some quite chunky assumptions made that put it firmly in the fiction bucket it was also very interesting and grounded in well researched detaill and the characters and political intrigue intriguing! 📸 a thebian temple

I enjoyed this audio book imagining what happened to the children of Marc Antony and Cleopatra after their deaths. I did find my mind wondering a bit as I listened and it‘s the beginning of a trilogy that I‘m not sure I will continue. 3.5 🌟

Looking forward to the tagged book about the daughter of Cleopatra and Marc Antony. The first in a trilogy.

Great children‘s book about mummies and their mysteries!

Someone mentioned their favorite book with “moon“ in the title, which made me think of mine. I feel so lucky my childhood library had this somewhat obscure series! (My own copy has no bookcover, so I found this one online.)
