Throughout the span of recorded human history, Pinecones have served as a symbolic representation of Human Enlightenment, the Third Eye and the Pineal Gland.

The name of the pineal gland comes from its pinecone-like shape. It is said that the pinecone was revered by ancient pagan people as the fruit (or seed) of the evergreen - a symbol which is connected to ideas of eternal life. It has also been considered a phallic symbol for its shape and role in creating life. The pinecone is a symbol which can be found in many ancient civilizations and cultures around the world. The following are some possible examples of pinecones appearing in ancient art.

The Egyptian scarab beetle played several different roles in ancient Egyptian culture, making it challenging to define succinctly. Because of their association with the sun and the sun god Ra, scarabs were thought to be symbols of prosperity and good fortune. Scarabs were symbols of rebirth, resurrection, transformation, and growth. People sometimes wore them as amulets to attract good luck and repel bad luck. Wearing an amulet of a scarab beetle in Egypt was also thought to protect the wearer from illness and ensure resurrection in the next life. The vast majority of scarab beetles in Egyptian artifacts are positive in nature, functioning as expressions of hope and goodwill.
