Tom Cat breaks through the dimensional wall.

What is "Don't be lonely, the way is with you."

What is "The cat is sleeping in the quilt, and the mouse is running around as if it doesn't hear anything."

The titles of the poems are even more corny, with titles like "Gift to a Cat" and "Gift to a Pink Nose".

The pink nose here is not just a simple pink nose.

Just look at the cat poems written by Lu You and you will know that Lu You had at least three cats, and all three cats had names.

They are Xiao Yutu, Fenbi and Xueer.

Xiao Yutu means little tiger.

I first raised it just to catch mice and protect my books.

But in the end, the famous Lu You still succumbed to the charm of cats and became a complete cat slave.

There was also a group of people in ancient Egypt who had the same development trajectory as Lu You.

It was from catching mice that my indissoluble bond with cats developed.

But compared to Lu You, they love cats even more crazily.

To what extent has love reached?

Did you know that a country was destroyed because the whole nation loved cats so much?

This is unprecedented and unparalleled in human history.

In northern Africa, there used to be a large fertile land with abundant water and grass called the Sahara Wetlands.

Yes, that’s right, it’s the Sahara in the Sahara Desert.

Then, starting about six thousand years ago, catastrophes similar to the Younger Dryas event would suddenly recur on a small scale on both sides of the North Atlantic every once in a while.

It is known in history as the "Piola Oscillation Period".

It was these waves of cold waves that gradually turned the Sahara wetlands into what we know today as the Sahara Desert.

The humans who originally lived there were also forced to retreat and begin migrating eastward.

Eventually, they retreated to the Nile River basin in northeastern Africa and began a settled farming life, imitating the nearby Middle Eastern residents.

Gradually, it evolved into the later ancient Egyptian civilization.

Along with agricultural technology, cats domesticated by our ancestors in the Middle East were also introduced!

Although the ancestors on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean were the earliest cat lovers.

Nine thousand five hundred years ago, the ancestors of the island of Cyprus were buried with their pet cats.

But after the cat-hugging activity was introduced to ancient Egypt, cats, which were originally just cat masters, were transformed into cat gods as if they had been blessed with supernatural powers!

It was this group of tabby cats that eventually evolved into domestic cats in the present sense.

Compared to their ancestor, the tabby cat, domestic cats are taller and cuter.

Just like today, cats of this period had already mastered the powerful skills of taming humans.

They are a little clingy and a little cold.

Like a master of love, he makes people feel itchy.

How could the ancient Egyptians bear this?

The entire country fell in an instant, and the most insane cat slave empire in human history came into being.

When a cat died in the ancient Egyptian home, the owner would shave his eyebrows to express mourning.

Rich families would even mummify their cats and bury them with great ceremony.

If a house catches fire, men will even form a human wall around the fire to prevent cats from jumping into the flames.

Let’s take another event recorded in history as an example.

At that time, a Roman came to Egypt and his carriage accidentally ran over a kitten on the road.

So he was lynched to death by angry Egyptians.

Even Pharaoh couldn't help.

At the national level, the pharaoh even strictly prohibited the export of domestic cats and sent troops to inspect the smuggling of domestic cats.

The ancient Egyptians were heavily addicted to cat-hugging, which, apart from other factors, was also related to the ancient Egyptian belief in gods.

They believe that cats are sacred animals and the symbol of the cat goddess Bastet in the human world.

It was precisely because cats had such a transcendent status in ancient Egypt that they eventually lost their country.

In 525 BC, the cavalry of the Persian Empire swept in.

Faced with the aggressive enemy, the ancient Egyptian soldiers and civilians were naturally not afraid at all.

After rising up to resist, both armies fought each other to the point of being exhausted, but were still at a stalemate.

The Greeks who watched the whole process as a bystander recorded: "Just when the Persian army was unable to attack for a long time and the logistics were difficult to sustain, they started to use their big moves!"

Our ancestors have long said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.

Although the people of the Persian Empire may not have heard this sentence, they also understood this principle.

So the Persians painted the cat goddess Bastet on the soldiers' shields.

This action is like painting the otaku's wife on the shield, or tying the otaku's figurine to oneself.

When the Egyptians saw this, they dared not shoot arrows at will.

What’s even more bizarre is that the Persians did more than just that in this legendary battlefield.

The Persians, who were well aware of the cat-slaving nature of the ancient Egyptians, even captured cats from nearby villages and released them on the battlefield as human shields.

Even throwing cats at the ancient Egyptian army and city walls.

Just like that, the 26th Dynasty of Egypt, like the Third Republic of France in later generations, saw the whole nation’s morale explode.

Then the army surrendered, the capital fell, and the Pharaoh was captured.

The Persians who used cat tactics, Cambyses II, became their new pharaoh.

Maybe it's just a sip or a bite, maybe it's predestined.

Later Persian cats became more famous than Persians.

I have said so much, but I just want to explain one thing.

Cats were really important to the ancient Egyptians.

Although this land has changed its owner today, it is Egypt after all, the place where the ancient Egyptians actually lived.

Naturally, it can also be said to be Tom's home court.

No one should ever think of bullying a cat in ancient Egypt.

After being hit hard by Tom, Imhotep was obviously angry.

As a high priest, he has such boundless power at this moment.

How could he possibly bear this kind of humiliation?

Suddenly, he became extremely angry and wanted to fight back!

Just as he raised his hand to give Tang Mu a slap in the face, his raised hand was grasped by another hand.

The hand was wrapped in withered bandages.

When I turned my gaze over, I saw that it was a mummy.

not only that.

As the ground around them vibrates.

As the yellow sand was shaken off, mummies emerged from the sand.

They surrounded Imhotep in the middle and protected Tom behind them.

Although no words were said, the meaning was very clear.

If you dare to bully cats in front of them, you must pay the price!

"I am Immorton!"

Imhotep also wanted to use the title of high priest to intimidate these mummies.

"boom!"

Zhongzhong punched Imhotep in the face.

This immediately made the bald priest look stunned.

Then, he frowned, raised his hand to the group of mummies, and began to cast a spell: "In the name of Imhotep, I command you! Obey my orders!"

"Snapped!"

"boom!"

Two mummies walked to Imhotep, one slapped Imhotep, and the other punched him in the face again!

After these two hits, Imhotep's face became swollen and there was even a line of blood from his nose.

Minor skin injuries are actually nothing.

But for Imhotep, the mental damage was obviously greater.

He could not accept it no matter what, as he was a high priest.

How could a high priest who possessed unparalleled magical powers be slapped in the face by the Egyptians on this land of Egypt?

Tom, who was protected by a group of mummies, grinned.

Do you think this is your home ground?

No, actually this is my opinion!

Tommoton pretended to be bullied, lying on the sand and shivering, looking at Imhotep with a pair of pitiful and frightened eyes.

The mummies around were extremely angry when they saw this.

Damn! How dare you abuse a cat in front of us!

The ancient Egyptians would not tolerate this.

It was as if he rushed forward, knocked Imhotep to the ground, and started beating and kicking him!

It is obvious that Imhotep possesses unparalleled magical powers.

But at this time, it is of no use at all.

The mummies fought fiercely.

Just like in old-school cartoons, for visual exaggeration and to save money, the fighting scenes were simply covered up by a cloud of rolling smoke.

Just some fists and feet would show up from time to time.

Imhotep obviously also noticed something wrong.

With his magical powers, even if these mummies are undead creatures, they should not cause him any harm or trouble.

Just a simple release of magic power can blow away these bandaged mummies or even crush them directly.

But he couldn't do it. It was as if all his magical powers were sealed and he couldn't use them at all.

They could only follow the mummy's rhythm and roll into a ball to engage in hand-to-hand combat with them.

There must be something wrong with that cat!

There must be something seriously wrong with that cat!

Originally, Imhotep was full of confidence because his magic power was fully restored.

But at this time, it was directly suppressed.

The heart that is no longer afraid of cats becomes more afraid.

He was an ancient Egyptian after all.

It is natural to start thinking of the cat goddess Bastet.

If there was a cat that could subdue itself so easily, it would probably be Bastet.
