The ancient Egyptian scarab beetle symbolized life, creation, resurrection, and rebirth, associated with the sun god Khepri. Its significance stemmed from the dung beetle's behavior: rolling balls of dung was seen as analogous to Khepri rolling the sun across the sky, while the emergence of young beetles from these balls represented spontaneous coming into being, or creation. Scarabs were widely used as amulets, seals, and in funerary contexts to provide protection, good fortune, and ensure a successful journey into the afterlife. Egyptian turquoise, mined in the Sinai Peninsula, is a historically significant blue-green gemstone prized by Ancient Egyptians for its beauty and association with fertility and life. Known as mefkat (meaning "joy"), it adorned jewelry, furniture, and burial artifacts, most notably in the tomb of King Tutankhamun. Its association with the goddess Hathor highlights its perceived protective qualities. Middle east.
