Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb (docu)

Hi,

it’s available on Netflix, trailer here

It is an interesting documentary in general if you like the topic, however there is one particular part I found amusing, so I thought I would share! :)

At one point you see footage of two men discovering a mass tomb of mummified cats that served as offerings ~4000 years ago.
Then there is footage of one of the men saying:

“I want to tell you something.
Since I started working in this cat necropolis, when cats see me around my house, they run. They’re afraid of me! They don’t act like pets towards me like they used to. But when a cat runs, I say to her - ‘Well, you have the right. I just took your ancestors out of the ground and put them in storage.’
She is scared I’ll do the same thing to her!”
