Sacred beetle is a Egyptian pantheon who is called "Khepri". "Khepri is associated with the dung beetle (kheper), whose behavior of maintaining spherical balls of dung represents the forces which move the sun. Khepri gradually came

to be considered as an embodiment of the sun itself, and therefore was a solar deity. To explain where the sun goes at night, such pushing was extended to the underworld, Khepri's pushing of the sun being ceaseless."

During and following the New Kingdom, scarab amulets were placed over the heart of mummies. These amulets were meant to be weighed against the Feather of Truth during the souls journey to final judgement.
