The scarab is the single most abundant artefact to have survived from ancient Egypt and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, were made throughout the course of Egyptian history. This volume examines these artefacts by considering the biology and behaviour of the scarab beetle and its incorporation into Egyptian symbolism, religion and art.
