. The sacred beetle: a popular treatise on Egyptian scarabs in art and history. a sa ra, son These are ordinary scarabs of Amenhotep III and his wifeQueen Tyi, and of himself alone, of larger size than usual (Plate V); but he seems to havebeen the only king who employedsuch objects to promulgate royaldecrees. These proclamations weresuch lengthy documents, that thescarabs to carry them had to beof abnormal size, such as neverwere seen before, or at least nothingso large as come down to us.They must have been sparinglyused.
