Puzzle Description:
The Scarab represents the rising sun or the god Khephera.

The Scarab is called the dung beetle because of its practice of rolling a ball of dung across the ground. The Egyptians observed this behavior and equated it with the ball of the sun being rolled across the sky. They confused this balled food source with the egg sack that the female dung beetle laid and buried in the sand. When the eggs hatched the dung beetles would seem to appear from nowhere, making it a symbol of spontaneous creation. In this role it was associated with the sunrise. Khepri was the scarab headed god.#2: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Sep 18, 2010

Nice puzzle, even though it reminds me of a movie I saw recently...one of the worst I have seen in a VERY long time. If you haven't seen "Bubba Hotep", don't.#9: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Sep 27, 2012
I second the warning. Even if you're a huge Bruce Campbell fan, it's a real stinker.#10: Susan (Susan) on Aug 6, 2017
