Описание: Did you know that an entire Egyptian army once surrendered… because of cats?
In 525 BCE, during the Battle of Pelusium, Persian king Cambyses II used an extraordinary tactic: he exploited the sacred status of cats in Ancient Egypt. Soldiers advanced with shields painted with feline images, and some even brought live cats to the front lines.
