The scarab for the ancient Egyptians sent on March 25, 2018 (23:19) by Annamaria Pertosa. 33 comments, 1221 views.

at 55mm, 1/200 f/10.0, ISO 400, hand held. Cairo, Egypt.

Nell'antico Egitto lo scarabeo era simbolo della resurrezione. Gli egizi credevano infatti che lo scarabeo della specie “stercorario” potesse rigenerarsi dalla palla di sterco che l'insetto fa rotolare davanti a sé. Inoltre, la palla veniva collegata con il disco solare che “rinasce” dopo la notte: il nome egizio dell'insetto, kheperer, è simile a quello del dio Khepri, il Sole, che sorge generato dalla Terra. Ampia diffusione. Gli amuleti a forma di scarabeo venivano posti sulle mummie (“scarabei del cuore”, sulla cui faccia inferiore venivano scritte preghiere e formule augurali) per simboleggiare la rinascita del defunto, ma venivano anche indossati come monili. L'uso dello scarabeo si allargò poi tra fenici, cartaginesi, greci, etruschi e, tra i primi cristiani, ancora come simbolo della resurrezione. Commenti, consigli e critiche sempre super graditi. Grazie.
