Do Egyptian scarabs still exist?
1 Answer
Yes, scarabs still exist, both as a beetle and as an Egyptian symbol. There are approximately 30,000 scarab species, so the existence of the scarab as a beetle is certain. As an iconic symbol in Egypt, the dung beetle has long been represented as a scarab pushing the sun. This image and other scarab-related images figured prominently in Egyptian mythology and continue to be an inspiration for jewelry and other items today.
