In Ancient Egypt, amulets in the form of scarab beetles had become enormously popular during the early Middle Kingdom and remained popular for the rest of the pharaonic age and beyond. During that long period, they were primarily used as amulets, but also inscribed for use as personal or administrative seals or were incorporated into jewelry.
