  2. Nov. 15/11 #Wss366 #numb #MastoPrompt #scarab

    The rocks fell from Wayna Qhapaq, one of the last Inca rulers from before the Huascar-Atahualpa civil war, tomb’s entrance. It was a lost tomb, and who knew how much treasure it held? Melting the gold alone would make us rich and ensure that our looting went undiscovered.

    Looking at the map, I said, “Just beyond here is a boulder trap, à la Indiana Jones. The release is here.” I reached into the indicated indentation, setting the brake.

    “Look,” Professor Lustem said, taking a golden scarab from another indentation.

    I wanted to say, “Don’t,” but my tongue was already numb.

  3. Invoke the dung beetle's powers of healing and celebrate life's cycles with a Basalt Carved Scarab. The scarab was sacred for the relationship it represents between life and death. These carvings are small enough to carry in your pocket or bra.

  5. Last evening in #Berlin, I found a #beetle on my bicycle, a #scarab, which I thought is #nonnative. Rightly so, as #Mimela #junii is a #neozoan in Central Europe, native mainly to southern France/north Italy,. Adults feed on leaves, larvae on roots/decaying material in sandy soil. Thomaes, A. et al. (2022) demonstrate, using Belgium, that it's spread to Central/WesternEurope was likely due to #humantransport. #globalwarming.

    Carved Scarab gemstone amulets were ubiquitous in ancient Egypt. They were presented as gifts at births and marriages, tucked into the linen wrappings during burial ceremonies, used as official seals, and featured in jewelry.
