The boat Nun is lifting is occupied by 8 deities including the scarab deity<br />
Khepera. In the Egyptian mythology the scarab beetle (dung beetle) Khepera<br />
pushed the rolling Sun along the ecliptic with his hind legs, just like the scarab<br />
beetle rolls his dung ball around all day. From the dung ball <strong>of</strong> the scarab beetle<br />
the eggs <strong>of</strong> the beetle are hatched and therefore the dung ball can not only be<br />
associated with the Sun but with birth as well. Khepera was a minor solar deity<br />
in the Egyptian pantheon but he was associated with rebirth and resurrection, as<br />
such he may represent the rebirth <strong>of</strong> the Sun on the Galactic Cross. The fact<br />
that the scarab beetle pushes the dung ball (Sun) with his hind legs backwards<br />
suggests that he should be associated with precession. While the Sun moves<br />
through the zodiac in a tropical year in one direction, the precession <strong>of</strong> the<br />
equinox Sun along the ecliptic moves in the opposite direction! The scarab beetle<br />
pushing the Sun backwards along the ecliptic is expressing exactly this aspect <strong>of</strong><br />
precession.<br />
In the artefact <strong>of</strong> Sheshong we see the scarab beetle flanked by two cobras that<br />
emerge from the Shen (O| ring). The cobras suggest the ecliptic while the Shen<br />
suggest the crossings <strong>of</strong> the ecliptic and Milky Way. Tutankhamun’s cartouche<br />
contained a scarab beetle with the Sun inside the Shen glyph, which most likely<br />
expresses the idea <strong>of</strong> the Sun on the ecliptic-Milky Way crossing.<br />
The scarab beetle, the scorpion and the crab all have hard shells and are very<br />
similar in appearance. The scarab beetle may also have been used as the sign <strong>of</strong><br />
Scorpio. The scarab beetle rolling the Sun on the ecliptic may express the idea <strong>of</strong><br />
the Sun precessing through the Galactic Equator near the Sagittarius-Scorpio<br />
nexus. Notice that there is a cross (Tau Cross) in the shell <strong>of</strong> the scarab beetle<br />
that was also depicted in Egyptian Hieroglyphs. The scarab beetle as a symbol<br />
expresses perfectly the crossing <strong>of</strong> the ecliptic and Milky Way near Scorpio. In the<br />
picture below the sky chart <strong>of</strong> the winter solstice <strong>of</strong> 1998 is depicted.
