Essay by Julie Coll Photographs byRogerSensenbaugh This is an article about
cats. For a list of interesting cat links, click here. The cat has a history
asfascinating and mysterious as the creature itself. The true beginnings of the
domestic cat are unknown, but the cat may have first appeared around
3000 B.C. in a country called Nubia, which bordered Egypt. Egypt later conquered
Nubia and by2500 B.C. the cat was domesticated in Egypt. The cat's first name in
Egypt was Myeo or Mau. The mau's status in Egyptgrew rapidly; she was
eventually considered guardian of the temple and was worshipped as a goddess.

Washington Post 5/10/95 article 'The Grandeur that was Nubia" subtitled
" Ancient Nubia: 3,000
Years of African Civilization'
"More than 5,000 years ago black-skinned Africans began to create one of the
most technologically and culturally sophisticated cultures that the ancient
world had ever seen. It is known today as Nubia.By 1700 B.C. many Nubians were
living in towns and small cities, including Kerma, which had a population of
about 10,000 and was dominated by a royal palace and temple towering 65 feet
above the streets. "
The Nubian Dynasty of Kush and Egypt:
Continuing Research on Dynasty XXV ,Richard A. Lobban, Professor of Anthropology
and African Studies Rhode -Island College
"The significance of the 25th Dynasty is very great. This period (ca. 760-656
BC) was a time when Nubians ruled most or all of Egypt as full-scale "guest"
pharaohs. It was in this time that a revival of Egyptian religion and
architecture took place and major monumental constructions by Nubians were
completed at several locations along the Nile. The Nubian revival also saw a
rebirth of pyramid construction which lasted longer and built more pyramids than
even in Egypt. Several of these Nubian pharaohs such as Shabaka, Shabataka and
Taharka are identified by name in the Old Testament as they had key alliances
with the Judeans and Phoenicians in their joint efforts to oppose Assyrian
expansion.
This was also a significant period for the emergence of substantial
experimentation with alphabetic writing systems, such as demotic which emerged
at this time. A few centuries later, the Nubians began their own unique style of
alphabetic writing which still needs decipherment today as Africa's oldest
writing system outside of Egypt. Such factors serve to document a very early,
but key, contribution to world history by an African population and they offer a
powerful antidote to the misinformed notion that Africa "has no history" in the
sense of a written account.
Although the study of Egyptian hieroglyphics dates back to the close of the 18th
century, the study of the second oldest system of writing on the African
continent, Meroitic, has only been initiated in the 19th century and was not
very seriously advanced until the 20th century. Despite the rapid advance in the
transliteration of the Meroitic alphabet, the study has been effectively stalled
ever since. The serious collection of Meroitic inscriptions begins with the
first inscriptions recorded by Gau in 1819, or perhaps with Ferlini's 1834 raid
on the jewels of the Meroitic pyramids. The father of serious Meroitic
archaeology is typically considered to be Lepsius as a result of his 1844
fieldwork in the region. The first systematic work appeared in the Denkmaler of
Lepsius in 1849, which includes the formal hieroglyphic form of this dead
language. The Mahdist revolt in the Sudan brought the fieldwork to a temporary
halt, but Lepsius's 1889 work on Nubian grammar advanced his interest in
regional languages.
