The scarab beetle rolls its food into a ball, suggesting to the ancient Egyptians the rolling of the all-powerful sun across the sky. Thus the scarab became the symbol of the sun-god. The beetle, which lives underground, was believed to be reborn every day at noon when it came to the surface to take flight. The scarab became the symbol of resurrection and eternal life. To commemorate specific events, a seal was carved in the form of a scarab with the date and event inscribed on its back. The inscription on the back of this bracelet is the hieroglyphic symbols representing "health, life an prosperity". This widely used hieroglyphic greeting, or "divine words" as the ancient Egyptians called their system of writing, may translate: "May you live, be prosperous and healthy". Deemed a matter of courtesy when addressing His Majesty the king or one's friends, it was probably also believed that some magical benefit would accrue to the person addressed or referred to by the phrase.
