Ancient Village or Settlement in Lower Egypt (North)
Bubastis, a city in the eastern Nile Delta, has origins dating back to the 4th Dynasty and was populated into the Roman Period. Goddess of the sacred city was the goddess Bastet, who can be seen as a cat headed woman in museums. There was a temple to Bastet in the town.
Bubastis grew in importance during the 19th Dynasty when the capital was temporarily moved from Thebes (Luxor) to the Delta. Bubastis reached the height of its prosperity in the 22nd Dynasty when Pharaoh Sheshonq I rose to power as he was from there.
