Rare Ancient Egyptian Antiquities Pharaonic of Ankh Key of Life Unique BC. The Ankh is one of the most famous and widely used symbols of Ancient Egypt. It appeared in hieroglyphic text and iconography all over ancient Egypt. Yet, there is much debate over the origin of the symbol. Gardiner (who composed the standard sign list) suggested that it was a sandal strap. This part of the sandal was called’nkh but it is not clear whether this name was applied retrospectively because of the similarity in shape. The symbol is also an Ancient Egyptian hieroglyph which represents the hieroglyph’nh (ankh) meaning “life” or “breath of life”. The glyph appears in an incredible number of inscriptions and was often used as a decorative device. Many of the gods of Egypt are depicted bearing an Ankh to represent their vivacity and immortality. Occasionally, the god (or goddess) extends the Ankh to the Pharaoh, indicating both the gift of life and the purification of the subject. As shown in the pictures.
