Khepri is an ancient Egyptian god associated with the rising sun and creation. Often depicted as a man with a scarab beetle for a head, he symbolizes rebirth and transformation. The scarab beetle, known for rolling dung into balls, represents the sun's journey across the sky, as it was believed to roll the sun into the horizon each day. In Egyptian mythology, Khepri is part of the Ennead, a group of nine deities worshipped in Heliopolis. He is closely linked to Ra, the sun god, and is often seen as a manifestation of Ra during the morning. Khepri's role emphasizes the cycle of life, death, and renewal in ancient Egyptian beliefs.
