Abstract

The ancient Egyptian reared some animals for food, while other animals were kept as pets. They were very important in his life, and he had a daily contact with the animals, so he was clever enough to show the details of the animal life especially the scenes which reflect their motherhood like scenes of giving birth, suckling, milking the cows, and other maternal scenes. Most of such scenes appeared in the tombs of Saqqara and Giza during Old Kingdom. while it appeared in a lesser extent during Middle and New Kingdoms in tombs of Beni Hassan, Al Bersha, Meir , Al moaala , Deir El Bahari, Sheikh aAbd_el-Qurna and El Kab.
