	Ankh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ankh of the God Anubis is related to the protection of the dead, that of Sekmet, War, Hapi related to the living waters of the Nile and Amen, the spirit God, the breath of life.
		The long-standing importance of the Ankh, and its deep symbolism to the dynastic Egyptians, led to it being gradually adopted by the fourth century Christian church in Egypt (which eventually became the Coptic Church).
		In Gothic sub-culture the ankh is a symbol for vampires.

	Ankh
		The loop of the ankh is considered to be the feminine, whilst the T shape is considered to be the masculine.
		Egyptians wore the ankh as an amulet to prolong life on earth, and were buried with it to ensure their 'life to come' in the afterworld; belief in the ankh's power was reinforced by its resemblance to a key which would unlock the gates of death.
		The ankh was adopted by the early Coptic Christians of Egypt who also used it on their monuments to symbolise life after death.

	Ankh-Morpork - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ankh-Morpork lies on the River Ankh (the most polluted waterway on the Discworld and reputedly solid enough to walk on), where the fertile loam of the Sto Plains (similar to Western Europe) meets the Circle Sea (the Discworld's version of the Mediterranean).
		Even before it enters Ankh-Morpork, the River Ankh is full of silt from the plains; by the time it gets to the seaward side of the city, "even an agnostic could walk across it" (although in The Truth, Arnold Sideways plays it safe by distributing his weight over boards).
		It is in memory of this that the hippo is the royal animal of Ankh.

	Adventure Europe
		Ankh is a 3rd person comedy adventure with stunning 3D graphics and a strong focus on characters and story telling.
		The Ankh, the magic symbol of life which Assil has stolen from a tomb thinking that it is a nice bottle opener, lures lots of evil characters out of their dark holes.

		The popularity of the ankh is evident in the numerous and varied types of everyday objects which were shaped in the form of the ankh.

		It seems to be some kind of bow or knot that had some kind of specific religious meaning; it's general meaning is "life" or "life-giving power," which was the general symbolic meaning of the knot among the Egyptians.
		As a symbol for the power to give and sustain life, the ankh is typically associated with material things such as water (which was believed by Egyptians to regenerate life; see the discussion of the symbol for water), air, or the sun, as well as with the gods, who are frequently pictured carrying an ankh.

		It is also a symbol for the power to give and sustain life, the Ankh is typically associated with material things such as water (which was believed by Egyptians to regenerate life), air, sun, as well as with the Gods, who are frequently pictured carrying an Ankh.
		The long standing importance of the Ankh, and its deep symbolism to the dynastic Egyptians, lead to it being gradually adopted by the very early Christian church in Egypt (which eventually became the Coptic Church).

	The Ancient Ankh Symbol of Life
		The Ankh was, for the ancient Egyptians, the symbol (the actual Hieroglyphic sign) of life but it is an enduring icon that remains with us even today as a Christian cross.
		During the Amarna period, the ankh sign was depicted being offered to Akhenaten and Nefertiti by the hands at the end of the rays descending from the sun disk, Aten.
		It is at least interesting that the ankh word was used for mirrors from at least the Middle Kingdom onward, and that indeed, many mirrors were shaped in the form of an ankh sign.

	New age / theosophy / ankh

	Wills's #15: The Ankh
		The ankh continues in use as a talisman among the new age mystics of the 1990s and can even be found for sale as a good luck charm in novelty catalogues like the Johnson Smith Company mail order catalogue.
		Air and water are vital elements, for which reason they circumscribed by the use of the ankh, as when a god holds the ankh before the king's nose, giving him the 'breath of life', or when streams of water in the forms of ankhs run over the king during ritual purification.
		As a symbol of an imperishable vital force the ankh was used on temple walls, stelae, and elsewhere; it is particularly evident in friezes of objects usually in the region of the feet, hence the fact that people saw in it the image of the sandal-strap.

	Ankh Jewelry from the Mystic Caravan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Ankh, in Egyptian mythology, represents "Life." But it goes deeper than that - some say the ankh is the symbol for the first word spoken at the Earth's creation, and that one word brought about Life for the first time.
		New from a German goldsmith are these silver ankhs in the traditonal pattern - it does not have a "loop" at the top to hold a chain, it is made to have a cord or thong looped around it - the most authentic method we have seen.
		It does not mean life but resurrection, because the Ankh is composed of by a T-shaped cross, the symbol of death, and that is supposed to symbolize re-incarnation and is "the key to the gates of life and death".
