In ancient Egyptian religion, the sun is identified with the sun god Ra who rolls across the sky each day, transforming bodies & souls. Beetles of the Scarabaeidae family (dung beetle) roll dung into a ball as food and as a brood chamber in which to lay eggs that are later transformed into larvae. For these reasons the scarab was seen as a symbol of this heavenly cycle and rebirth or regeneration. The Egyptian god Khepri, Ra as the rising sun, was often depicted as a scarab beetle or as a scarab beetle-headed man. The ancient Egyptians believed that Khepri renewed the sun every day before rolling it above the horizon, then carried it through the other world after sunset, only to renew it, again, the next day. There are 3 types of funerary scarabs; heart, pectoral and naturalistic. The heart scarab bore the name of the deceased & repeated some or all of spell 30B from the Egyptian Book of the Dead. The spell commands the deceased's heart (typically left in the mummy's chest cavity) not to give evidence against the deceased, when the deceased is being judged by the gods of the underworld. Spell 30B (or Spell 125) of the Egyptian Book of the Dead is eerily similar to the Ten Commandments & may be the origin of the Ten Commandments. Below is a link to read the spell.
