● 2015年n°25 février 在埃及发现了狗的墓葬，其历史可以追溯到巴达里安文化。在前王朝时期，人们发现它们被单独埋葬，或者两个或两个以上成群埋葬，与个人墓葬相关，或者在人类墓地或定居点内。这些狗经常被报道为宠物，这似乎是一种现代的解释。通过研究早期的发掘报告并考虑狗墓葬的位置和位置，出现了一种模式，表明这些墓葬是故意的。它们位于墓地的尽头，当发现与人类直接相关时，狗被放置在坟墓的脚下。虽然狗在生活中可能是“宠物”，但它们在葬礼上的功能是保护者。
● n°25 février 2015 Dog burials have been found in Egypt dating as far back as the Badarian culture. During the Predynastic period they were found buried individually or in groups of two or more, associated with individual human burials, or within human cemeteries or settlements. The dogs have frequently been reported as pets, which appears to be a modern interpretation. By studying the early excavation reports and considering the positioning and the location of the dog burials, a pattern emerges suggesting that these burials were deliberate. They were located on the extremities of cemeteries, and when found directly associated with a human, the dog was placed at the foot of the grave. While the dogs may have been ‘pets’ in life, their function in the funerary context was that of a protector.
