Bastet By: Angela Perez

         “Why are cats so important to Ancient Egyptians?” “Were cats a god?” Well Bastet is the daughter of Re, her twin sister is Skhmet. She is the god of protecting people. She has two personalities, like her body is shaped like a cat. Bastet is one important god. Bastet is the daughter of Re and sister of Skhmet.
           Re is the god of the sun so he gave the crops enough sunlight. She had the eye of Re as a symbol of protection. Re protected people sometimes. Bastet shared powers in common with her dad. For example, Re also protected certain people and Bastet also protects the pharaohs and wars. Also Re is important to people of Egypt and so is Bastet. Additionally, Bastet is the god of the firecats. That means the cats were wild. The color of the cats was black. For instance Bastet has a lot of connections whit her dad.
            Bastet as you notice she protects the people of  Egypt. “What kind of people?’’ the kind of people were pregnant women. Mostly when they were in real danger. Along whit, the women could ask her for luck. The pharos wanted her to protect from wars. For example. when the pharos were in terrible places. In order to happened the pharos always had to have a cat whit them. In addition she didn’t made people put statues of her. They could only prayed to a cat.

Helping those in need was her job in Egypt. In conclusion those are some of the people she  protected. Another thing she had two personalities. One of her side is mean and cruel. All the one she help need to pay fro that. Fro example the pharos if they didn’t preyed for her she will have revenge. Her good side was very different. Ones you complete your promise she will let you free. If  you didn’t do it she will let you free other parts of her personalities are being luck. She was used to finishing her promises. Also she like to help for no reason. When being luck she gave people joy.
