Khepri Tapestries
Description: Khepri is a god in ancient Egyptian religion who represents the rising or morning sun. By extension, he can also represent creation and the renewal of life. The god was connected with the scarab beetle because the scarab rolls balls of dung across the ground, an act that the Egyptians saw as a symbol of the forces that move the sun across the sky. Khepri was thus a solar deity.

Description: Egyptian scarabs are really dung beetles. Khepri, the ancient Egyptian god of the morning sun, rebirth, and creation was the inspiration for this symbolism. Khepri rolled the sun across the horizon at daybreak like the beetle rolled its dung. The entire Egyptian civilization was always oriented towards solar deities. After all, their lush oasis was surrounded by vast, arid deserts where such beetles proliferate. In that light, this animal was a good one to honor and emulate!
Description: From an original engraving published 1881. Scarab beetles lay their eggs in a pellet which they roll along and the Egyptians saw this action as an image of the sun and its course through the heavens, rolled by a gigantic beetle. Scarabs are associated with the Egyptian god, Khepri because it was Khepri that pushed the sun across the sky. The scarab beetle became an ancient Egyptian symbol for rebirth, the ability to be reborn. Each day the sun disappeared, always to rise again and be reborn the following day. from the middle kingdom onwards scarabs were popular in amulets & other jewellery. The Heart Scarab was often buried with the dead to ensure the rebirth of the deceased in the afterlife Please note with regard to scanned antique...
