Isaac Myer (1836-1902) was an American author, scholar, and a notable figure in the field of Egyptology during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Myer's intellectual pursuits were interdisciplinary, as he delved into areas of mysticism, philosophy, and the esoteric traditions alongside his Egyptological studies. His fascination with ancient cultures is prominently reflected in his book 'Scarabs: The History, Manufacture, and Religious Symbolism of the Scarabaeus, in Ancient Egypt, Phoenicia, Sardinia, Etruria, etc.' (1894), in which he extensively explores the scarab's cultural and religious significance across various Mediterranean civilizations. This comprehensive work illuminates the scarab's multifacet role and its prevalence in funerary art and as amulets, demonstrating Myer's meticulous research and his ability to synthesize the intersection of religious symbolism and art history. His literary style is characterized by a scholarly and in-depth analysis of historical artifacts and the symbolic meanings attributed to them by ancient cultures.
