The Ankh is an Egyptian (Khem) symbol dating back to ancient times, symbolizing Life. The symbol is a teardrop-shaped hoop with a cross connected directly below it. The hoop of the ankh represents the Sun, with the horizontal bar of the cross representing the horizon and the vertical bar of the cross representing the path of the sun, which rises above the horizon. The ankh was regularly used in ancient Egypt throughout hieroglyphics, art, and artifacts to show the importance of life. The ankh is sometimes referred to as the “key of life” as it is the symbol for perpetual renewal of a sun/son being reborn again.
