How Persia Beat Egypt With Cats #Shorts

Legend says an entire army was stopped by cats. 🐱
In 525 BC, Persia's king Cambyses II faced Egypt at the Battle of Pelusium. The Egyptians revered cats, so legend says the Persians drove cats and other sacred animals in front of their lines, and the archers wouldn't fire.
Is it true? The battle was real and Egypt fell to Persia, but the cat tactic comes from a writer who lived about 700 years later (Polyaenus). Historians debate how much of it really happened. That's why we call it a legend.
