Ancient Egyptians widely used scarabs as symbols and talismans, reflecting a rich artistic heritage from their time. It's believed that scarabs were inspired by the god Khepri, who embodied the morning sun and its life-giving powers of creation and renewal. Scarab beetle amulets gained immense popularity during the early Middle Kingdom (around 2000 BC) and remained a staple throughout the pharaonic era and beyond. Over time, the roles of scarabs evolved significantly, transitioning from being primarily talismans to serving as personal or administrative seals, and even being incorporated into various forms of jewelry.
