A little History about the Egyptian Scarab…

The Scarab is the symbol of Ra, the Sun God of the Egyptians. In his Scarab aspect, Ra was called Khepera.

Scarab beetles lay their eggs in dung, which they roll into a ball and into a hole. The ray-like antenna on the beetle's head and its practice of dung-rolling caused the beetle to also carry solar symbolism. The scarab-beetle godwas believed to push the setting sun along the in the same manner as the beetle with his ball of dung. In many artifacts, the Scarab is depicted pushing the sun along its course in the sky. The opening and closing of the Scarab's colorful wings symbolized night and day.
