About this School Project (SCARABS / INSECTS)
After viewing "Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" performance at a nearby highschool students had a discussion about the Egyptian culture.
Because of the dung beetle ’s significance in ancient Egypt, the scarab beetle came to represent the eternal cycle of life. Like the dung beetle’s revolving ball, the scarab became a symbol of birth, life, death, and resurrection.
