My understanding was that the ancient Egyptians believed that a dung beetle rolled the sun through the sky. Gorgeous puzzle.#3: Arduinna (arduinna) on Jun 9, 2009 [SPOILER]
Ah-- nice. The pic I copied was in color, and the ball at the top was yellow- clearly the sun. In B&W it could be a dung ball!#4: Jane Doe (telly) on Jun 9, 2009
Blackcat, do you think there might be an Egyptian clown god? I'd like to see that!
Thanks for the compliments.
nice. :)#5: Jota (jota) on Jun 10, 2009 [SPOILER]
It was very entertaining to solve and not too easy or too difficult. People believe the strangest things will bring them luck!#6: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jun 21, 2009 [SPOILER]
Fantastic puzzle. Nice image - it was fun to see the scarab beetle appear. And it was just the right amount of challenge. :-)#7: Tonia Bergh (tonia) on Jun 26, 2009

I did not see the real image until I was done. I really thought it was the muzzle of a dog or lion. Once finished, its amazing.#10: Vaggelis Kamaris (evag7651) on Mar 10, 2021
