I mean, take USA for example, is it even the same country after each amendment? After a Civil War? Civil Rights Movement? Landmark Court Rullings?
One could argue that Modern America began in 1965, with the passing of the Civil Rights Act. Or in 2001 when the Patriot Act was passed. Or in 2009 with Citizens United Court Ruling. Or in January 2017 when… you know. Or in January 2025.
When did the country really start?
Turkey is a good candidate. Göbekli Tepe was settled some 10,000+ years ago.
It’s really funny everything from language, main demographic, culture, and dominant religion changed multiple times over just few thousand years.
The only thing that stayed remotely consistent is “ah yes we also have a bunch of cats running around for some reason.”
Where were the Egyptian cats supposed to go when Egypt fell / was conquered? The Ottoman and Roman Empires were prosperous, ergo they were the perfect societies for cats to enslave next lol
Kind of funny to think of cats thriving in so many countries that got repeatedly raided, conquered, and reestablished by multiple different empires and cultures. Everyone dies eventually but the cats stay haha
Cats are nature’s perfect predator in more ways than one, it seems
