N2 - An unusual image of a rodent confronting a cat in the Beni Hassan tomb of Baqet III (no. 15) has perplexed scholars, who have been unable to agree what species of rat or mouse is represented. Recent re-recording of the Middle Kingdom cemetery site by the Australian Centre for Egyptology has revealed new information that now confirms the animal’s identity as a Nile grass rat (Arvicanthis niloticus).
