A scarab is an important symbol in ancient Egyptian religion. It is the shape of a dung beetle that rolls balls of dung to lay its eggs inside. The beetle was connected to the early morning sun, called Khepri. People believed Khepri rolled the sun over the horizon at sunrise. The scarab symbol, Kheper, represents life, growth, and change. Because of these meanings, scarab amulets were popular in ancient Egypt.
