This shape is 5,000 years old. The Egyptians believed it could
bring you back from death.
The Ankh is the ancient Egyptian symbol of eternal life. That loop
at the top represents the rising sun over the horizon. The cross
below it represents the earth. Together, they mean: life continues
forever.
Only gods and pharaohs were painted holding it. They called it
‘the key of life.’
Priests used it in rituals to transfer life force from the gods directly
to the king.
Today, it’s the most recognized Egyptian symbol on the planet.
