A source for the second paragraph, in regards to the incorporation of Khepri into an aspect of Re:
In the course of the 18th Dynasty, the rise to prominence of Amun of Thebes resulted in his assimilation to the supreme god, the sun-god Re. Furthermore, the conceptual dominance of sun worship had turned the sun-god into the all-embracing creator-god who manifested himself in many forms and under many names. Thus he absorbed Amun and Horus, and he was Atum, Harakhti, and Khepri.

Just wondering: does anyone know any pictures of actually ancient depictions of Khepri as a man with beetle-head? I've never seen any.
