What if ancient Egypt’s most powerful messages weren’t carved in pyramids—but on tiny beetle-shaped amulets?
In this episode, we uncover the surprisingly complex history of the scarab: a sacred dung beetle that became a symbol of rebirth, power, propaganda, and… ancient forgery? From pharaoh-approved press releases to fake magical bugs sold on the black market, scarabs were far more than just spiritual trinkets.
Join us as we follow these mysterious objects across tombs, borders, centuries, and belief systems. Along the way, we’ll ask: Who wrote the messages on their bellies? Why did people fake them? And how did they end up in both ancient tombs and modern gift shops?
This is the history of ancient Egypt told through its tiniest messenger.
