Legend says an entire army lost a battle because of cats. 🐱⚔️
In 525 BC, the Persian king Cambyses II couldn't break the Egyptian fortress of Pelusium. So, the story goes, he remembered that Egyptians treated cats as sacred, gathered cats, dogs and sheep, and marched them in front of his army. The archers froze. Not one arrow flew. The gates fell.
Is it true? The tale comes from a writer about 700 years after the battle, so historians treat it as legend, but the Battle of Pelusium itself was a real turning point that brought Egypt under Persian rule.
