What role did the cat and the mouse play in ancient Egyptian society and what were their medicinal uses?
In comparison to other animals, cats were the crème de la crème of ancient Egyptian society. The high status of cats in Egyptian society, however, did not prevent them from being used in medicine. The medical papyri provide several examples of remedies including the cat. There are also many examples of cat amulets, depictions of cats on objects and the mention of cats in spells to aid healing. Magic was often used with prescribed medicine to aid the patient.
Although mice did not have the special status of the cat in Egyptian society they were recognized as a legitimate part of creation. The mouse is actually one of the oldest ancient medicines used by mankind. In Pliny’s time there was a belief that the mouse was a spontaneous product of the Nile mud after each inundation.
The cat was conceptualised as a fierce yet caring goddess, whilst the mouse was viewed as a weak abomination yet paradoxically ‘a giver of life.'

Nicholas Reeves has claimed recently that Queen Nefertiti lies buried behind one of two walls in the burial chamber of KV62, the tomb of Tutankhamun. Reeves believes that Nefertiti rose to become the monarch Neferneferuaten and then Smenkhkare, but the assessment of whether such hidden chambers exist in KV62 has been made on purely structural grounds. There are a number of problems in Reeves' model for the development of KV62 architecture, which he never really addresses.
