Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered a 2,000-year-old temple in Alexandria dedicated to a cat goddess.The Goddess is, of course, Bastet, sometimes known simply as Bast.
The temple is the first trace of the royal quarters of the Ptolemaic dynasty to be revealed in Alexandria.
The find confirms the Greek dynasty of Egyptians continued the worship of ancient animal deities.
