An '''Ankh''' is an ancient [[Egypt|Egyptian]] [[hieroglyphics|hieroglyphic]] symbol for "life", consisting of a loop above a "T", often found in tombs near depictions of Egyptian gods. It represents a sandal's ankle strap, with which it has the same phonetic value. There has been conjecture that the symbol is a representation of the (lifegiving) sun rising across the water. It figures frequently in personal names; e.g. Tutankhamen, Ankhesenamun. It has been used in more modern times and pop culture to symbolize life.

An '''Ankh''' is an ancient [[Egypt|Egyptian]] religious symbol and [[hieroglyphics|hieroglyphic]] for eternal "life", consisting of a loop above a "T".  The glyph is often found in tombs near depictions of Egyptian gods or kings, invoking their supposed eternal live with [[Osirus]]. It represents a sandal's ankle strap, and therefore, like all Hieroglyphs, carries that phonetic value in phonetic hieroglyphs. There has been conjecture that the symbol is a representation of the (lifegiving) sun rising across the water. It figures frequently in personal names; e.g. Tutankhamen, Ankhesenamun. It has been "resurrected" by modern pop culture to symbolize life <!-- and has been used in modern Satanism like Anton Levee to symbolize eternity.-->
