Ancient Egypt

Ancient Egyptians Sacrificed Animals, But Not The Cow Because It Was Sacred To Goddess Hathor, And Also Due To The Contemporary Greek Legend Of Io , Who Had The Form Of A Cow. In Egyptian Legend, Hesat Was The Manifestation Of Hathor, The Divine Sky-Cow, In Earthly Form. Like Hathor, She Was Seen As The Wife Of Ra. In Hieroglyphs She Is Depicted As A Cow With A Hat.
