The Heart Scarab from 600 BC, found in Egypt, is a beetle-shaped amulet made from green stone. Ancient Egyptians placed it on the chest of a mummy to protect the heart in the afterlife. It was often carved with a spell asking the heart not to speak against the person during judgment. This shows how important the afterlife was to the Egyptians and how they used special objects to help the dead have a good journey.
