Khepri
The Egyptians were fascinated with the Scarab Beetle and its habit of rolling balls of dung across the ground. They likened this exercise to the propulsion of the sun on its circuit across the sky. Khepri is the sun god and creator in the form of a scarab. He was imagined to be created of his own accord rather than undergoing the natural cycle of reproduction, and he represented the initial spark of creation. Khepri was usually depicted as a dung beetle but he could also be portrayed as a hawk -winged beetle or as a man with the head of a scarab.
