An Army Surrendered to Cats? (525 BC Legend) #animation #history #didyouknow

Legend says the Persian king Cambyses won the Battle of Pelusium (525 BC) without a fight. His soldiers carried cats, which Egyptians held sacred, in front of the army, and the Egyptian archers wouldn’t shoot.
Historians doubt the story. It comes from writers who lived long after the battle, and the Persian army was probably just stronger. But it’s a great legend.

Would you have fired? Let me know in the comments.
