What does SCARAB mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large dung beetle sacred in ancient Egypt, or an ornament or seal carved in the shape of this beetle.
The Egyptians watched the beetle roll balls of dung across the sand and linked it with the sun rolling across the sky, so they made it a symbol of rebirth and of the god Khepri. Carved scarabs of stone, glazed ceramic or gemstone were worn as amulets, used as seals and even placed over the heart of a mummy. Collectors still seek them, and museums hold thousands. In biology the word may name any member of the scarab beetle family.
