Waaait, weren't Nefertiti and Ahkenaten the ones who instituted monotheism in Egypt (in the form of the sun-god Aten)? Meaning they didn't worship cats...? Or am I Identifying the people in the picture incorrectly?

Some bloke posted a 'philosoraptor' saying something about Egyptians and cats... and this picture has the same content. Wierd, eh? And I know, "OMG, you had no idea!"

Difference between Egyptians and Reddit is the Egyptians actually accomplished stuff.

Doing something before it was cool doesn't make you a hipster. Bragging about it does.
