About this book
The book covers the History, Manufacture and Religious Symbolism of the Scarabæus in Ancient Egypt, Phœnicia, Sardinia, Etruria, etc. The same book adds remarks on the learning, philosophy, arts, ethics, psychology and ideas as to the immortality of the soul among the Ancient Egyptians, Phœnicians, etc.
The author writes that the idea of the re-birth and future eternal life of the pious and moral dead existed among the Ancient Egyptians as an accepted dogma, long before the period in which Moses is said to have lived. The book quotes lines naming Khepra, among them I am Khepra who gives to itself a form on high and Homage to Khepra in its boat who every day overthrows Apap. An index entry reads Moses and belief in the immortality of the soul.
