"This royal treatment began not with commoners but with the actual royalty, who let their cats eat from their plates in addition to adorning them in gold jewelry. Perhaps the most important feline deity was Bastet, a goddess of the home, fertility, childbirth, and, yes, cats themselves. Bastet was first depicted as a lioness before later being portrayed as a small domestic cat.

Writing Prompt: Worldbuilding Death
Write a scene where your character(s) are attending a funeral: what are the various traditions and rituals performed to honor the dead, if any?
What is done with the remains of a person-- are they burned, buried, put out to sea, or place on a cliff-side for a 'sky burial' ? Something different?
Are there any special clothing types or colors that your characters wear to show they are in mourning?
Is there any kind of "mourning period" where your characters are expected to limit their interactions with others for a certain amount of time?
Are there any gender-based restrictions on mourning, or any special circumstances for mourning depending on your characters relationship with the deceased?

It's so weird when you grew up far from your extended relations, but due to circumstances you had a better connection to them than your other siblings.
Because next thing you know you're talking one of them through finding your aunt's grave while they're passing through the area and dropping comments like "be cool if you threw out a flower to Baby-land by the entrance" -- because you'd seen your aunt and grandmother do the same to commerate the infants of a great great aunt you never knew.
Shabtis from Saqquara (Late Period)
These little figurines were placed in the tomb with the purpose of performing any manual labor the deceased might be called upon to do in the afterlife (farming work, carrying water, building things etc.).
So kinda the world oldest unpaid interns.
