What is the role of the scarab beetle on the mummy’s linen shroud

Answer 1

rebirth

Step-by-step explanation:

Ancient Egyptians studied the life cycle of the scarab and believed that the scarab experienced rebirth through its stages of metamorphoses. It is believed that the mummy's linen shroud is an imitation of the scarab's pupa and is meant to protect the body until it is reborn.

Answer 2

The scarab beetle has many meanings. One is eternity or cosmic forces beyond our knowledge.

In Egypt, it represented Khepri, the god of creation, a part of the sun god and rebirth.

Rebirth was important because like the scarab Beatles which roll their balls of sings along the ground for the young to hatch out of it, the Egyptians wanted the heart scarab to guide them through the afterlife- life after death.
