Why did ancient Egyptians put scarabs on the hearts of mummies? Discover the fascinating story of ancient Egyptian heart scarabs and their connection to death, judgment and the afterlife.
These scarab amulets were placed over the heart of the deceased and were often inscribed with Spell 30B from the Book of the Dead, asking the heart not to testify against its owner during the judgment of the dead. The scarab was also associated with Khepri, the rising sun and the cycle of rebirth.
