The ancient Egyptians believed the Scarabeus Beetle was able to spontaneously regenerate itself from cow dung, which these beetles can be observed rolling into small balls and burying. Consequently the scarab came to symbolize a spontaneous continuation of the life cycle. They were worn in life and in necklaces around the mummy and often the bases were inscribed with symbols or "words of power," intended to magically invigorate the wearer.
