Royal Egyptian Artifact – "القطة المصرية" (al-qiṭṭa al-Miṣriyya) – "Egyptian Cat" (light granite)

story:

In the forgotten sands beyond Luxor, hidden beneath a dune that never shifts, lies the ruin of a temple with no name — its doors sealed, its halls empty, save for one statue: a single, lifelike Egyptian cat, perched upon a broken pedestal, its gaze frozen in eternal focus.

No hieroglyphs mark the walls. No offerings remain. Only the eyes of the cat, carved with inhuman precision, seem untouched by time.

It is whispered among old desert guides and secret priesthoods that this statue is no mere carving — but a guardian, left to watch over a gate that must never be opened.

Long ago, before gods were gods, before the Nile had a name, the world was ruled by silence and shadow. A hidden gate was built to seal away that old darkness. And the key to keeping it closed was not a lock or spell… but a being. A watcher. A vessel of pure awareness.

Material:

Pharaonic Granite:
Refers to a type of granite widely used by the ancient Egyptians during the Pharaonic period (c. 3100 to 30 BC). Granite is an igneous rock composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, and mica, and is known for its hardness and durability. These qualities made it a valuable material in ancient Egypt, especially for the construction of monumental structures, statues, and other timeless artifacts.
