Meaning of the symbol: The ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol represents (eternal) life. The ankh means the breath of life or the key of the Nile.
The symbol originates from the early dynastic periods of ancient Egypt and was used throughout Egyptian history, remaining popular even in the Greco-Roman era. For the ancient Egyptians, the ankh was a sacred symbol that represented eternal life, health and fertility. It was often depicted in the hands of gods and pharaohs as a gift of life. They believed that the ankh would allow them to pass into the afterlife and eternal happiness.
The ankh, often called the key of life, is one of the most recognizable and mysterious symbols of ancient Egypt.

The ankh consists of a T-shape with a loop at the top. This loop symbolizes eternal life and immortality, while the horizontal line represents earthly life. The vertical line can symbolize a spiritual path or the connection between heaven and earth.

Today, the symbol is worn in amulets and as jewelry for protection and good luck.
