Pigs in Ancient Egypt

Breeding pigs in Ancient
Egypt (Inside the tomb of Kagemni, Saqqara)
Pigs were loosely looked upon as black, and thus unfit for foods. The chroniclers present them as used for food at only one festival. Those represented on the memorials were ugly in the big, with long legs and necks, rough hair, and a crest of bristles run down the back.
