About this ebook
Scarabs is a historiography by Isaac Myer. It depicts the manufacture and symbolism of the Scarabaeus in Ancient Egypt, Phoenicia and Sardinia.
This study has as its basis a more philosophical treatment of the meaning of the scarabæus as a symbol, in the religious metaphysic conception of it by the Ancient Egyptians. At the period when we first meet with the symbol of the scarabæus in Egypt, it was already the symbol and tangible expression of an elevated religious idea, embracing that of a future life of the human soul, a resurrection of it from the dead, and most likely, of a reward or punishment to it in the future life, based on its conduct when in the terrestrial life.
