Hieroglyphs from the Book of the Dead written on the bottom.
Khephri was a sun god. The dung beetle rolls dung across the ground like Khephri pushes the sun across the sky.
The Book of the Dead was put in tombs and helped you on your journey to the afterlife.
Fake scarab beetles were put inside, and wrapped amongst mummies.
