What Is The Ankh Symbol?Alongside the hamsa hand, the Egyptian Ankh symbol is one of the oldest, best-known, and most powerful symbols in the world. The lower portion, roughly the lower 80%, is across.\xa0 The horizontal bars of the cross are often bowed, swelling outwardly at their tips.\xa0 The upper part of the Egyptian Ankh is a loop, which distinguishes it from a Christian cross. This symbol, whether used for jewelry or otherwise, has serious significance to many people for widely-varying reasons\xa0and is a permanent fixture in the history of Egypt. Meaning Of The Ankh Symbol\xa0 There’s no doubt that the ankh symbol has more individual meanings than most signs that exist.\xa0 However, probably the most agreed-upon, possibly “official” meaning of the Ankh symbol is “life.” It is also translated as “breath of life” and can be referred to as the “key of life.” The Egyptians, like many other civilizations, had a very developed idea of an afterlife. So the Ankh symbol refers not just to life on Earth as we know it, but to the afterlife as well. It is also the case that it can represent the sun and earth meeting, and the genitalia of either men or women. As you can see, these meanings have some connection to the idea of life. \xa0 As we’ll explore in just a minute, because of its association with the afterlife, the Ankh symbol is often found in tombs, buried with bodies, or in hospitals. It was worn by many hippies in the 1960’s and 70’s to show their disdain for materialism. What Does The Ankh Shape Represent?\xa0 What an awesome question! There are some different ideas about this.\xa0 Ovals and circles are ripe for being interpreted in any number of ways.\xa0 The Ankh shape is sometimes thought of as the rising sun.\xa0 Yet it has also been described as female genitals, with the staff at the bottom of the Ankh being male genitalia joining it.\xa0 Naturally, over the years, because of the cross-component of the Ankh, it has been compared to a Christian cross or considered to be simply another version of it. Ankh Jewelry TodayIn the 1990’s, the Ankh jewelry came into vogue around the world.\xa0 It’s still in style, with celebrities like Katy Perry, Beyonce, and Rihana sporting it.\xa0 The unisex symbol is very versatile in\xa0necklaces,\xa0earrings,\xa0bracelets,charms, and evenrings.\xa0 Life and vitality will never go out of style and will never cease to be profound symbols. |
