A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the practice of animal mummification in ancient Egypt, focusing on the millions of votive mummies offered to gods like Bastet, Horus, Thoth, and Sobek. They discuss the massive catacombs at Tuna el-Gebel (for ibises and baboons), Saqqara (for falcons and dogs), and Bubastis (for cats). Lucas explains how these mummies were produced on an industrial scale, with some studies revealing that many were deliberately killed or even empty of bones. They also touch on the Egyptians' belief that gods could manifest in animals, the sacred Apis bull, and the modern archaeological challenges of studying these mummies. The episode ends by reflecting on what the practice reveals about Egyptian piety and the economy of religion.
