History

The ancient Egyptians associated the scarab with rebirth and renewal, observing how the beetle would bury dung balls in the sand and later emerge with new life. Scarab amulets became widely used as protective charms, often crafted from gold, semi-precious stones, or faience. These amulets were engraved with hieroglyphs and worn by both the living and the deceased to provide protection and blessings.
