🇦🇲 ✝️ ARMENIA IS BUILDING WHAT IS SET TO BECOME THE WORLD’S TALLEST STATUE OF JESUS CHRIST. Armenia became the first nation in the world to officially adopt Christianity as a state religion, in the early 4th century, under King Tiridates III. Now, more than 1,700 years later, a monumental statue of Christ is rising above Armenia, a powerful symbol of the country’s ancient Christian identity and heritage. Incredible!!!! Writer: Samuel

The earliest known record of a pet with a name dates back more than 3,450 years to ancient Egypt. The cat was called Nedjem, a name that translates to “Sweet One” or simply “Sweetie.” Nedjem belonged to Puimre, a high-ranking official who served as the Second Priest of Amun and oversaw temple estates and religious ceremonies at Karnak Temple. The cat’s name appears in Puimre’s decorated tomb at the Theban Necropolis, where Nedjem is shown beneath a chair, a common artistic way of depicting beloved household pets. The name Nedjem (ndm) means “Sweet One,” “Pleasant One,” or “Delightful One.” It was also used as a personal name in ancient Egypt, suggesting it was an affectionate and familiar term rather than one reserved for animals. Nedjem offers rare evidence of the close bond ancient Egyptians could share with their pets. Although cats were valued for protecting grain stores from rodents and snakes and were linked to the goddess Bastet, they were also cherished companions.
