The Ankh is one of the most recognizable symbols from ancient Egypt, known as "the key of life" or the "cross of life". Created by Africans long ago, the ankh is said to be the first--or original—cross\

The ankh is often shown in the hands of important Egyptian figures, such as pharaohs and kings, preserving their immortality. Moreover, the ankh is commonly depicted in temples and in the grasp of major Egyptian gods It could also have a more physical connotation: the ankh may represent water, air, and the sun, which were meant to provide and preserve life in Ancient Egyptian culture.
