names for celestial beings, among other things, and worshiped them as gods. For example, Ra is considered the god of the Sun, while the nut was considered

the God of Heaven.

The Egyptians also used different symbols to represent various gods and pulled the various pieces of art or hieroglyphs as a means to spread the word,

lessons or even superstition These gods. Ankh, for example, which appeared in various tomb paintings, it means "eternal life" and was worn to protect the

ancient Egyptians. Some even say that the ankh was based on the Christian cross.

that the eye of Horus pendant was even worn by many Egyptians in antiquity. Parable with a scarab beetle symbol was actually based on common Beetle in

antiquity. The Egyptians observed beetles rolling balls of dung on the land (for food and eggs) and compared this to the sun being rolled across the sky.

Then came the symbol used to represent rebirth.
