⚜️About the Ankh The Ankh is an Egyptian symbol dating back to ancient times, symbolizing life. The symbol is a teardrop-shaped ring with a cross attached directly below it. The crown 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, rising above the horizon. The ankh was regularly used in ancient Egypt in hieroglyphics, art, and objects to show the importance of life. The ankh was widely used as an amulet in Ancient Egypt. Many reliefs in ancient Egyptian temples show scenes where the gods offer the king the ankh. This symbolized the divine gift of eternal life. Although the symbol was always used to represent Life, it was used in many ways. More specifically, the ankh could symbolize physical life on Earth, eternal life in heaven or the underworld, immortality, and even reincarnation. Ancient Egyptians often wore ankh ornaments for protection or used them in their worship for their magical properties. One use of the ankh was to symbolize long life for the king, which often appears in paintings of the pharaohs. This is a fairly common use for the ankh, and there are many painted scenes where the people of ancient Egypt give ankh figurines to the pharaoh to wish him a long and prosperous life on the throne. It also appears in hieroglyphic form on many royal inscriptions for the same purpose. When a god or goddess was shown holding an ankh towards a pharaoh, it was to show the blessing of eternal life. Another use was to paint an ankh on a tomb or death mask, to symbolize the passage to the afterlife. It was common for images of the ankh to be placed in the pharaoh’s tomb, in addition to images of specific gods that the pharaoh may have worshipped in life. The ankh was intended to help the pharaoh’s spirit pass safely from the earthly realm to heaven, under the protection of the designated gods. The ankh is sometimes referred to as the “key of life”, or “key of the soul”. The ankh, also called the Egyptian cross, was a symbol of life itself. The ankh represented eternal life. It signified wisdom and insight at the highest level and was also a symbol of fertility.
