It seems [the Ancient Egyptians] assumed that some gigantic celestial scarab kept the Earth revolving like the humble scarab made its ball of dung revolve. On the front of the sacred scarab the head is drawn out into a number of spines which to the Egyptians symbolised the sun’s rays, giving an even greater significance to the beetle.
