Ancient Resource: Ancient Egyptian Scarabs for Sale

The scarab beetle was revered by the ancient Egyptians for its seemingly regenerative powers... and became the icon of Egyptian understanding of death and rebirth. Scarab amulets such as these were buried with the dead to ensure safe passage into the next life.

Egypt's New Kingdom (1539--1070 BC), especially the 18th Dynasty (1504--1450 BC), saw some of Egypt's most famous Pharaohs... Hapshepsut, Thutmosis III, Amenhotep III, Akhenaten and Tutankhamun (King Tut). Scarabs of the time were designed with heiroglyphic cartouches and symbology of the Pharaoh's various names, praises and well-wishes, as well as animal and god motifs. Earlier scarabs from Egypt's 2nd Intermediate Period, Hyksos Period, and contemporary Phoenician sources (1750-1570 BC) often depict heiroglyphic praises to the Pharaoh, and ornate carved linear motifs.
