About
The ankh is the Egyptian hieroglyphic character for the word meaning life. It's a common symbol found in art and usual objects. It is often carried by the loop by Gods and Goddess and was often worn by ancient egyptians as an amulet. It's exact meaning is still a mystery, but it was clearly an important symbol.
I've been fascinated by Ancient Egypt for many years - and I'm currently majoring in archeology and egyptian stduies - and the ankh has always been one of my favorite symbols.
