Beetle sacred

Image of perfection, the beetle has been a cause inspire throughout history.
In ancient Egypt, was regarded as sacred, a religious symbol.

It meant power and also became a symbol of the aspirations of the monarchy. The mummification is a ritual inspired by the bilogía this Coleoptera. His evolution occurs inside the earth. It passes through three states of larvae before becoming nymph and adult who later goes on outside.

The insect becomes a mummy before leaving the bowels of the earth. In a word, will rise again. The Egyptians thought that if he does an insect why not humans? The beetle was promise of eternal life. Franz Kafka makes his character from "The Metamorphosis" in a beetle ... of overnight. But the world around you do not agree.
