Khepri

          Khepri is attributed with being one of the sun gods.  He is the god associated  with the sun rise.  Khepri was believed to push the sun across the sky.  Khepri is one of the creator gods because of his association with the sun god.  Khepri was self created. Some other names for Khepri are Khepra and Khepera.  He was represented as either  a man with the head of a scarab or a scarab.  Blue, red, green, and gold are some colors associated with Khepri.  Each color has a meaning.  Red is for fire and blood.  Blue is for the sky and celestial divinity. Green represents regeneration.  Gold represents gods' flesh and the idea of preciousness.   I hope my report on Khepri encourages you to read more about him.
