Ibises, cats, crocodiles—even bulls were mummified as offerings to the gods.
Animals weren’t just pets or pests in ancient Egypt—they were divine avatars. Millions were mummified as votive offerings, each one a sacred transaction between worshipper and deity...devotion, wrapped in linen.
But X-rays reveal many were just bundles of linen and sticks—mass-produced spiritual decoys!
Mummification wasn't cheap, and so ancient Egyptians found a cost-friendly way to make offerings to the gods without costing an arm or a leg...lol, that's my mummy humor :)
