>The Persian king, knowing the veneration the Egyptians held for cats, had the image of Bastet painted on his soldiers' shields and, further, "ranged before his front line dogs, sheep, cats, ibises and whatever other animals the Egyptians hold dear" (Polyaenus VII.9). The Egyptians under Psametik III, seeing their own beloved goddess on the shields of enemies, and fearing to fight lest they injure the animals being driven before the enemy, surrendered their position and took flight in a rout.

How in the FUCK did Egypt last so long?

What the hell (F)ersians how dare you play with my BLACK brothers like this

This is a lot like India. Dont they stop traffic for hours when a fucking cow passes by??

It didn’t it was the Asian conquerors bitch state until saladin

Most likely a myth.

How in the FUCK do you believe this

So they used animals as [in]human shields?

Well I call it smart
It was done under the son of Cyrus the Great. Of all brown skins, I consider only Cyrus as a [human] being. Jokes aside, it is not really inhuman when egyptians wont do shit

You're a piece of shit and should rot in hell for all eternity. I bet Cyrus would have invented scaphism just for you.

It probably didn't happen

I dont understand why would he do such a thing? I honour the man

so this... is the power... of egypt... whoa

Imagine if the Iraqi army had strapped jews on their tanks
2003 would have gone a lot different

Cambises was that smart!?

I just feel awful for the egyptians man
