The sacred scarab.

The sacred scarabRus was for many
centuries venerated by ancient Egyp,
tians, a cult shared recently by Hotten-
tots and akin to that of the holy cricket
of Madagascar.
In explanation of this Thespesion
said, "The Egyptians do not venture to
give form to their gods; they use SYM
bols of occult meaning" A black and a
golden green beetle were both regard
ed as emblems of Ra, the sun god; of
Ptah, the creative power. and of re-
birth, resurrection and immortality.
Every beetle was held to be male and
self produced. It's thirty toes symbol
lied the days of month, and the pei
let of dung in which it rolled along its
eggs was a type of the movements Of
the sun.
In ancient Egyptian philosophy the
sacred scarab is spoken of as the first
living creature that sprang from the
mud of the subsiding Nile. 1t was
closely connected with astronomy and
used as an amulet of sovereign virtue
for the living and the dead. =
