There were heaps of animals that were mummified. They were all mummified for one reason. The Ancient Egyptians believed that animals were the messengers of certain gods. Some mummified animals included~ * Cats- Messengers of the Goddess Bastet * Crocodiles- Messengers of the God Sobek * Ibis'- Messengers of the God Thoth * Baboons- Messengers of the God Thoth, etc There were hundreds of other animals mummified also such as snakes and frogs. Though as there were so many Gods/Goddesses, we cannot be entirely sure which God an animal was associated with.
