For the People who like black cats and cats GENERAL
History of EGYPTIAN MAU the black CAT
The Egyptian Mau dates back over 3000 years. The Egyptian Mau is perhaps the oldest of all domestic cats and one of only two naturally spotted breeds still in existence (the other being the Bahraini Dilmun Cat). The Mau is most likely the descendant of the African Wild Cat (Felis lyica ocreata.) The domestication of the Mau occurred sometime between 4000 and 2000 BC.

Egyptians very quickly saw the value of the Mau. They used them initially to hunt and retrieve birds. It is very common to see pictures of cats in marshes with birds in their mouths. The oldest images of cats in ancient Egypt are hieroglyphs carved on a temple wall found to the south of Cairo dated around 2200 BC.

Around 2000 BC and on, the Mau started to hold a great importance in religion and was worshiped as a god. The Mau represented almost every aspect of their life. They were represented by over twenty some gods and goddess that were catlike figures.

Many cat cults, like the cult of Bastet, appeared during this time. They continued in to the Roman occupation around 330 AD.

When a cat died in Egypt the body was mummified and entombed. The family of the deceased cat shaved their Eye brows as a sign of mourning. If a cat was ever harmed during this time it was an offense punishable by death.

Bahariya

(meaning the northern oasis),in the Libyan Desert, central Egypt, (322 km) south-southwest of Alexandria. Set in a depression covering over 2000 sq. km,The Oasis was a major agricultural center during the Pharaonic era, and has been famous for its wine as far back as the Middle Kingdom. During the fourth century, the absence of Roman rule and violent tribes in the area caused a decline as some of the oasis was reclaimed by the sand.

There are a number of springs in the area, some very hot, such as Bir ar-Ramla but probably the best is Bir al-Ghaba, about 10 miles north east of Bawiti. There is also Bir al-Mattar, a cold springs which poors into a concrete pool

Otherwise near the Oasis is the Black and White deserts, though traveling to the White desert seems not practical from the oasis. The Black Desert was formed through wind erosion as the nearby volcanic mountains were spewed over the desert floor

Siwa
Siwa, the most inaccessible of all Egypt's oasis’s until very recently, is also one of the most fascinating. On the edge of the Great Sand Sea, its rich history includes a visit from Alexander the Great to consult the Oracle of Amun in 331 BC. About 80 km in length and 20 km wide, it is one of Egypt's most isolated settlements, home to about 23,000 people, the majority of whom are ethnic Berbers who speak a distinct language known as Siwi. Agriculture is the main activity, primarily the growing of dates and olives

Siwans have their own culture and customs and they speak a Berberf language, Wiwi, rather than Arabic. Many women still wear traditional costumes and silver jewelry like those displayed in the traditional Siwan House museum in the town center. Siwa remains one of the best places to buy jewelry, rugs, baskets and traditional robes and headdresses decorated with antique coins. Siwa was the site of some fighting during World War I and World War II. The British Army`s Long Range Desert Group was based here.Near the Oracle are the ruins of the Amun temple and the famous Cleopatra Bath, a deep pool of bubbling water where you can bathe in.
