There are still so many mysteries to be uncovered in Egypt. The ancient civilization left behind so much and we are still discovering more every single day. One of these recent discoveries was found in one of the pharaoh’s pyramids that is 4,500 years old.

The archaeologists discovered dozens of mummified cats! The culture did not worship cats but they certainly played an important role, and they thought of them as ‘divine.’ Three tombs had the mummies of cats in them as well as something else – scarab beetles.

One of the researchers on the project said, “A couple of days ago when we discovered those coffins, they were sealed coffins with drawings of scarabs. I never heard about them before.” It wasn’t just the mummies of animals and insects that they found in this tomb; they also found some ornaments. These ornaments were 100 wooden and gilded statues of cats. One of them was made in bronze and was a dedicated to the cat goddess, Bastet.

In Egypt, cats were mummified as a form of religious offering. There were other statues found at the site that included lions, a cow, and a falcon.

These found objects would have been located in what was then known as the city of Memphis. This excavation and reporting of these findings is a way to draw tourists back to Egypt.

The ministry said, “Those working to excavate the tomb hope to show the exceptional richness of the Egyptian civilization and to attract the attention of the world towards its magnificent monuments and its great civilization so that it becomes the focus of the world as it deserves.”

The Australian actress’ friendship has withstood the test of time. Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts have been friends for more than 35 years!

Their bond is one that certainly cannot be broken, and we can’t wait to see what the next 35 years of friendship bring with them.

Fey and Poehler are two of the world’s most loved comedians – it makes sense that they would get along so well. Fey is known for her roles in the production of 30 Rock, in which she stars and is also a writer. Amy is known for her comedic role in Parks and Recreation.

These two Charlie’s Angels are as loyal to each other today as they were in the movie.

Sometimes a good friendship consists of more than just two people. That’s the case for the cast of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants: Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera, and Amber Tamblyn. The friendship began on-screen and turned into a sisterhood off-screen, too. They have been at each other’s weddings and celebrated each other’s pregnancies. The four of them are so different that it brings them together – they learn from each other and give each other advice from their own life experiences.

The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul is loved by everyone, but is loved most by her best friend, Taraji. The two starred in Tyler Perry’s 2009 film, I Can Do Bad All By Myself and have been there for each other through the ups and downs. When Henson finally received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Blige was in the middle of it all, cheering her best friend on, calling her a total inspiration.

Friends that do runways together stay together. When these two are off the runway, you can usually find them having dinner, working out, and partying it up together.

News that they are both at equal points in their careers where they seem to understand each other.

Jada Pinkett Smith and Queen Latifah go way back – 30 years in fact! They’ve been starring in movies together for more than 20 years, but their friendship began even before Hollywood. “I remember the first time I met her,” Jada told People in 2017, “It was in Baltimore at a club where she was performing.

These two gorgeous young women met at a fashion show and have had a close bond ever since. Rihanna and Cara shared the screen in Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. “No matter where either of us are in the world, we know we can just pick up the phone and unload on each other, and that we are always ready to listen or offer advice,” Delevingne shared in the past. She has also commented on how amazing it was to work side-by-side with Rihanna as an actress.

A breakup rarely turns into a friendship, but BJ Novak and Mindy Kaling are living proof that it happens. The 15 years since the two met have had some ups and downs. They met as writers for The Office, dated, broke up, made up, and then became just friends. “We kind of fell in love through [writing for the show], and then dated on and off for a couple of years, and now we are just, like, best friends.” We’re not sure how they make it work, but they do, and we love them for it.

When Winslet accepted the Golden Globe, she had nothing but the best things to say about her best friend, “Leo, I’m so happy I can stand here and tell you how much I love you and how much I’ve loved you for 13 years…I love you with all my heart, I really do.”

The Friends costars are friends in real life. They are the best of friends, and they have Friends to thank for that. They met on the set of the infamous sitcom in 1994 and have been through thick and thin together, celebrating the good times, and consoling each other through the tough times. “We fell in love with each other and wanted to hang out,” Aniston said way back when the show was still running, and revealed they would even get together every week to watch their latest episode aired.

Let’s be real – some celebrity friendships give us straight-up FOMO (fear of missing out), and this friendship is an example of that. Busy and Michelle starred in Dawson’s Creek as teenagers and have been best friends ever since. They accompany each other to red carpet events, award shows, and appear on each other’s social media. They refer to each other as “the love of their life.” If they’re looking for a third wheel, we’d gladly volunteer to join this friendship.

The on-screen Stark sisters are off-screen best friends, and we couldn’t be happier about this friendship. The duo is attached by the hip, and they even have matching tattoos.

They may seem like a serious pair, but the two happen to have a lot of fun together, as Cruz showed us when she pranked Hayek on an episode of Punk’d.
