The Mysterious Origins and Meaning of the Ankh

[@BrotherPatriot]

It wasn't mentioned but...when I first came across the Ankh, I was told it was a symbol of knowledge and power, too.

[@starseedstudio17]

A recent channeling provides the meaning of the shape of the ankh. The round part symbolizes feminine and the bottom part represents the masculine and the line in between shows the balance between the two. Much love to all! ❤❤❤

[@gonehome2]

Yep

[@Mozihawk]

I still carry a keyring, from Cairo, in Egyptian Silver. A simple Ankh attached. It has been with me for nearly 30 years.

[@Susan-j8v]

The ANKH is cross of life I have got one

[@wespenre3418]

This is how I interpret it: It's Isis' symbol, representing creating life, life, death, and reincarnation. If we watch this video, the emblem appears a couple of times with energy running through it (0:25). That's a great picture. The cross represents the four elements crucial for creating physical life, and the loop is the fifth element (Spirit), caught in an endless loop of reincarnations.

[@phoenixdavida8987]

Cool! Thanks for sharing that.

[@frankwilliams3036]

It is definitely a Kemetian (Egyptian) symbol, as it predates the Christian religion by many years.

[@stephanieknows1668]

I, too, believe it's an Egyptian symbol, but are the two meanings mutually exclusive? If you are Christian, you believe that Jesus Christ was the Creator of the universe. "All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made." John 1:3 KJV (among other passages). P.S. As someone else also said, I believe the symbol has to do with sound, that is, vibrational frequency - with all of it connected.

[@frankwilliams3036]

@@stephanieknows1668 The book known as the Bible that most Christians look to and base their religion on is incomplete or even amended in order to suit the lusts of the Romans who pit it together at the Council of Nacea. If you real the Gospel of the Holy Twelve you will find a more complete story of Yeshua's life. His whole life and how he he referred to God as his Father-Mother for the All-Soul has no gender. This is bit one book that was taken out of the Bible in order to suit the lusts of corrupt men. You will know them by their fruits. This is why you see them raping children to this very day and trying to escape account for it. Don't just limit yourself to the Bible they crafted to keep the rest of mankind in check. Start with the Gospel of the Holy 12, then read the others as they come to you. You will start to discover why the did what they did.

It is actually really old... Zep tapi lasted 25,000 (this is all myth) gods walked along man, Shamzu-hor lasted 15,000 (also myth aight) God of the sky Hor's followers era, few gods remained while others left at the end of Zep tapi, and then the first king in history appeared (hisyory begins not myth) and the gods were nowhere to be seen.

@@stephanieknows1668Hmmm…I’ve never heard of nor thought of the Ankh in terms of sound and vibrational frequency🤔🧐 That’s Dope. That’s a different perspective that I’ve never heard before…but I can dig it, it makes perfect sense, Thx🙂💓

[@stephanieknows1668]

@@bunnydimples1283 I love the vibrating heart! 😄For more info, you could search "ankh, ancient civilization, sound frequency." It's been years since I looked into how ancient civilizations may have been able to move mountains, so to speak: the Egyptians and those giant blocks in the pyramids and megalithic structures the world over. It's fascinating stuff I once spent hours and hours exploring. But as you perhaps perceived, I was referring to something way earlier. Actually, what is in the Bible I find more mind blowing than even the the idea that, without machinery, the Egyptians had a way to use an ankh such that its sound (vibration) enabled them to hoist up such weighty blocks. By the way, any quotes are from the King James Version of the Bible. Okay, here goes. All sounds have frequencies, including sounds we make with our voices in the form of speech. So also as per The Book of John, in the New Testament: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." ~ John 1:1 kjv Keeping that in mind, the first line of the Old Testament, the very first line of the Bible, reads: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." ~ Genesis 1:1 kjv. From there, this divinely inspired text explains just how God did that: He *spoke* our universe into existence. For example, as per Genesis 1:3 kjv: “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.” So it was with light, darkness, the heavens, trees, and everything in our universe: God *said* there was something and then *there was* something. Assuming that on some level that's true, now check out what Jesus said, as recorded in The Book of Luke, kjv => 17:20 & 21! 😯Yeah, if what Jesus said is also true, what does that say about ourselves? Food for thought! My thanks to YOU for bringing this all back to mind. 🙂:)

The Ankh despite the opinion of the so called scholars simply means Wisdom. If the Ankh is held by the stem it means the person is wise and if it's held by the loop it means that the person is imparting wisdom.

[@EgyptMagic]

The ankh, one of the most iconic symbols in history, has been used by many cultures throughout the ages, each attributing its own unique meaning to the symbol. Its origins and symbolism remain a subject of mystery and fascination. The symbol resembles a cross with a loop at the top and has been associated with various interpretations, including the cycle of life, fertility, the sun, and the key of life. The true original meaning of the ankh remains unknown, and its rich history continues to captivate people. The symbol's association with life and the divine makes it one of the most powerful symbols from ancient Egypt, perpetuating its timeless appeal. Despite the uncertainty surrounding its origins, the ankh remains an enduring link to our shared human past, representing a highly advanced culture that remains mysterious in many ways. Scholars have proposed various theories regarding the origins and meanings of the ankh. Some have suggested that it represented knots or sandal straps, while others have associated it with fertility symbols and the promise of eternal life. The symbol's association with the afterlife made it an especially potent symbol for the Coptic Christians of Egypt in the 4th century CE, leading to its adoption as a symbol of faith. The ankh's enduring significance is evident in its widespread use as a symbol of life and prosperity, transcending cultural and temporal boundaries. The roots of the ankh symbol are buried deep in the sands of time, stretching back to the earliest dynasties of ancient Egypt. Its exact origin remains shrouded in mystery, but it is believed to have emerged during the Early Dynastic Period, around 3150 BCE. The looped shape of the ankh has been a subject of fascination and contemplation, with interpretations suggesting it represents an unbroken cycle, devoid of beginning or end, and a key unlocking the mysteries of life and the afterlife. The ankh symbol was ubiquitous in the life of ancient Egyptians, often used during religious rituals and funerary ceremonies. It was also relied upon by Egyptian rulers in various aspects of their lives, conveying the promise of everlasting life even to those who could not read. The symbol's association with the sun, life, and vital force made it a powerful emblem in ancient Egyptian culture. In conclusion, the ankh symbolizes a profound and enduring link to ancient Egyptian culture, representing life, prosperity, and the mysteries of existence. Its origins and meanings continue to fascinate scholars and enthusiasts, perpetuating its significance across cultures and throughout history.

[@glynesgarzillo1268]

On my visit to egypt i found a sacred ankh im the sand. I believe it to be a gift of the gods since i have always felt a connection to the ancient egyption coulter and its people.

[@lizielita]

For real?

[@wacojones8062]

One point of note is in some depictions there is a series of cross bars in the upper loop which represent the lower 5 bones of the human spinal bone structure with the loop representing the human uterus. All link to the beliefs of life and rebirth.

[@adamcheck4941]

When the ankh is depicted with the middle of the loop filled with that coil like structure, it seems electrical; and would be associated with life because life is also electrical.

[@notwennaes]

Possibilities that you didn't mention are first, the anchor.The Ankh looks like an anchor ( which is an ancient symbol of salvation ) even our word "Anchor" could be derived from the word "ankh". Another possibility that comes to mind is a "Key" symbol the way the Ankh is carried by Egyptians looks like an early type of key. Perhaps instead of having a door handle and a key , you would carry a door handle that could actuate a latch mechanism. Carrying the key could symbolize being granted access to hidden chambers in the afterlife. I've also read that the ankh represents a cross section of a vertebrae, the hole of which the spinal cord passes through. The spinal column is extremely important as the main channel of the soul and very often the ankh contains the "djed "symbol which also represents the spinal column. This possibly has a connection to kundalini yoga. Another possibility is that it is a symbol of "symbols", a symbol for "The Word of life" , the Logos, the Greeks who took a lot from Egypt may have given us a hint with their Alpha and Omega which when combined together forms the Ankh. This ties it to the Christian tradition as well wherein Christ calls himself " the Alpha and Omega". The "cartouche "which contains the name of a pharaoh may also be related to the ankh , it is essentially the ankh without the phallic connector .The Egyptians were obsessed by the sun meeting the Earth on the horizon so the Ankh likely holds this meaning as well, the loop being the sun or" Aten" , the arms the horizon (Horus) and the vertical upright "the Way "or road to salvation or the "I" of individual identity. There are so many possibilities, I'd be hard pressed to choose one, I like them all!

To my eyes the An-kh is a symbol not only for The One ; also a symbol of divine power in that when represented wth a DJed pillar as the central decoration describes the power grid of energy : it is a receiver and relay / its main nomenclature is a key held by the religious hierarchy to bestow energy of the ancients upon Pharaoh.

That's not how symbols work. Regardless of what you want to attribute to it, it already has a meaning & when you were it, you are coming into agreement with it. That is why Christians need to be very careful about what symbols they adopt. Some of the symbols are linked to specific entities or spells.

The Two Trees! Jehovah God's Glory! The Two Witnesses! Elijah - Song of the Lamb Moses - Song of Moses Matthew 16:27-28 Son of man is to come in the glory of his Father with his angels. Revelation 15:3-4 The two witnesses are the two olive trees and two lampstands. A lampstand represents the true Congregation of Christ (Rev 1), and an olive tree also represents Jehovah God's people (Rom 11). The link between the two is that as the Congregation walks in obedience they bear fruit (olives) which provides the oil which keeps their lamp lit. The two witnesses are therefore two obedient groups,one that will walk in the spirit and power of Elijah and one that will walk in the spirit and power of Moses.

My opinion is the ankh represents eternal life of the soul, and exalted life with continued posterity. The Eye of Horus represents mortality, a giving from one state to gain wisdom in a mortal state.

But that’s just my observation from what I feel I understand.

I have a theory. For me it's a key, an important key to another place in another dimension. We came here from other place in the universe (multiverse), our soul or being came to Earth as a school or punishment, the ankh represents the key, there's a port on Earth to another dimension, existence and the ankh is the key. If you have the key you can come home.

Scitchin’s interpretation that the cross represents Nibiru, the planet of crossing, that which crosses the plane of the solar system. It this is the case, I suggest that the Ank is the original cross and the loop represents the orbit of Nibiru. This lends to the meaning given to the Ankh as the symbol of life, given that the planet’s inhabitants are, in the theory the creators of mankind.

Ankh was the Egyption word, and later the symbol for angst, which was a precursor of existential philosophy that the Greeks later embraced.

[@alexanderguesthistorical7842]

My own view is that the ankh is a representation of a Corn Dolly. At harvest time, the last stalk of corn to be reaped would be cut and folded by a craftsperson into Corn Dolly, representing the "spirit of the corn". It would then be stored in a particular location, and at the next planting, planted with the first seed, to ensure life passed into the new crop. Corn Dollies come in all manner of shapes and varieties. The ankh could well be a very simple form of Corn Dolly. And as they (Corn Dollies) are representations of the "spirit of the corn", the staple food of the ancient world (and arguably today as well) they naturally possess all of the symbolism and meaning of the ankh.

@@femtheogens Patent nonsense, in my view. TUNING FORKS require TWO prongs for "oscillating vibration", not one. There may be THOUSANDS of these scattered all across Egypt.

But it is also a key shaped object if you look at how it is held by the loop, allowing access to life/knowledge etc that is hidden from most. We still say the key of life today. Whoever first designed the Ankh was very clever in the symbolism they chose, because it can mean so many things to different people, depending on their perception of it, the context in which they are introduced to it and the beliefs of the person who introduced them to it. The actual meaning is lost in the annuls if time but the simple design is ever enduring.....

I wonder if anyone ever considered the possibility of this scenario…..just because Egypt has the symbol more than other civilizations, it still could also have been handed down by another civilization as well after a catastrophic event occurred, then afterwards, people came along and settled around the Nile river, and adopted it for their own use. It isn’t so far fetched since the planet is also a living, breathing planet, and a possibility that the Ankh is much older than what we think it to be with the Egyptians. We still don’t know enough about our ancestors and how they lived….even though we have the hieroglyphics and various artifacts which gives us some insight into their lives, there are still gaps missing, it’s like putting a puzzle together but still have many missing pieces to add to it, but are hidden from our view. How did they accomplish such impossible tasks of having cut stones moved to a different location hundreds of miles far away, and create something like the great pyramid ?….What source of energy did they use to cut those stones, etc., etc., etc? Maybe someday we will know more of our ancient ancestors history. Until then, it’s only piece work and an incomplete history to find our ancestors story….👍❤️🙏🏼

Later, it meant The Journey of the soul into the afterlife, hence life after death, life and resurection. Then, later, Life it's self. So, if you're a Christian for whom the Cross is a symbol of life eternal, then yes, there are definate parallels.

It held an electrical charge and was used in conjunction with the stick thingies you can see at 5:12. Form follows function 😏

[@KIP-gj3bz]

If it comes from Egypt which came before Christianity then we all know it's Egyptian and Christians should know this.

[@deanmcintyre9767]

It was Used by Jesus as he was Egyptian, The Roman Empire changed this in 325AD

[@QuenofSheba]

Absolutely correct! It existed well before the cross. It represents the God of Egypt.

[@stevenswitzer5154]

It fairly self-evident that it means birth, life, death, return to start....... Or a sunset reflecting on water

In all the drawings of the ankh being place toward the person mouth…always seem to be place a little above the mouth .. looks like it’s aim at the nose of the person..also it’s so close to the other person mouth but in no drawing the person actually opens their mouth… I’m guessing maybe it was something that maybe let’s off some sort of stuff to inhale maybe to enhance the brains.

[@TheArtanis7]

And I thought it was used for levitation of stones together with was scepter and djed device matching the right resonant frequency.

THE KEY TO LIFE

[@ericadouroux9658]

The Ankh is a spoon.An ancient Egyptian ruler wore it around his neck so that he would have quick access to the utensil.The symbol became known by his followers as a symbol of life because of his status. 7:51

[@conejinca]

Is a KEY...

[@truethought369]

The Ankh, symbolizes the penus entering the Womb, the horizontal part of the cross = the Earthly plain. You can find this in the book of Wisdom, volume one. 💚💙💜

[@mrDADtheSecond]

It's a symbol to represent POWER

[@johnkuthe1]

The Ankh is a symbol of Life for ALL! And I am now 64 and will live a long life as I Nordictrack in my basement every day to a different Album! Wednesday is will be Richard Hell and The Voidoids "Blank Generation" :-)

What if the Egyptian Ankh is the feminine cross while the Christian cross is the masculine Ankh. Spiritually speaking (gender aside) matriarchal wisdom can begin with a fundamental understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God). Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle. As all mothers have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is spiritually matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8). Sekhmet statues (ancient Egyptian) carry most of their weight in symbolic memory of what was a mother culture dedicated to the direct experience of baptism. As the leg shaped hairlocks extend from maternal breasts to the womb of rebirth, the lioness's head proportions are such that they highlight the bust of a second animal figure. The Lioness's ears as eyes and eyes as nose (nostrils) brings to life the figure of a reptile. 'Neath the halo headress of the solar egg, the lioness's egg fertilization process being internal (Set) and the reptile's egg fertilization process being external (Setting), such being key components to the safety of entering the trans-egoic or "born again" state. The life threatening fear associated with the predatory nature of a lion and/or crocodile encounter are reflective of the intense ego death experiences associated with the transpersonal awakening process. In spiritually matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary "ego" death mask) as the high state of cyclical self knowing; high awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower (later) patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld, her inevitable cyclical destiny. The male pharaoh wears his beard tapered in reverse, indicating a pointing upwards towards the patriarchal head, divine representative of God's tail end cycle. Mary Magdalene's anointing and wiping of Jesus's feet with her hair can then be seen as head to tail (toe) imagery as she descends her matriarchal head to his patriarchal feet, thus reenacting the high understanding of the divine cyclical process. (John 12:3) To carry the Ankh (now the female symbol ♀️) was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower (later) "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle. Lord Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society. Ganesha (like the elephant) wears God's cyclical nature on his face. A whole temple was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor, who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGHQYa2AiKp5gZI "See all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. When you see the entire world as the mother, the ego falls away. See everything as Mother and you will know God." - Neem Karoli Baba

As a child, I was told that it was a sandal strap. 🤔 That's...um..really mundane. Thanque for the enlightenment.

How to say ankh ank or aunh

Much appreciated

[@cmbakatheunholydragon4138]

To me it looks like a key... to cross between the divine plan and the mortal one... maybe ?

[@patricktilton5377]

The Ankh symbol is linked to the word 'Sanctuary', a Pre-Catastrophe code-word used for a place of immunity . . . at least, that's what the computer that controls The City told to the Sandman Logan-5 on the date Capricorn 15, Year of the City 2274. You need an Ankh pendant to get through the Gate that leads Outside the domed City, but watch out for 'Box' . . .

Kent Nelson aka DOCTOR FATE has an Ankh on his chest and he used for his POWER as a weapon Blessings and HUGS MARANATHA! 🎅👑💜🔯

[@maxxmabemwe4859]

Changing the names of things proceeds to lies. It is ancient Kemet, The Kemetic style of picture writing is called the Medu Natcher. You are using the Greek renaming of things that they had nothing to do with creating. Whether intentional or not, you are wrong about the history. In this modern era people call ancient Kemet by the name that the Greeks gave to the empire, which is Aegyptus, which later morphed into Egypt. Attributing the accomplishments of Ancient Kemet to the Greeks is the lie that is put forth by scoundrels who wish to claim that the people of ancient Kemet were so-called white people. Kemet became mongrelized, through the mixing of the population with the people that were conquered by Kemet and the various people who invaded Kemet. You call it race mixing. However, race is a modern concept and it is a straight out lie.

It means (can be experienced in spirit, when it's given to you) you have eternal life... so you don't have to worry or feel lost... aummm..

Opinions & hypothesis. I see the Power in it ASÈ. 👁💭💫💥💥

[@paulbattenbough1002]

I like the newest theory that the Ankh symbolises a chemical reaction; a 'fractal toroidal moment'. It's a scientific diagram of their mastery of alchemy and other exotic physics.

[@Aethertopia369]

The Ankh's extreme similarity to the Akwaaba symbol brought me here.

[@jacquespons7400]

As far as I know it could be the symbol of the Nile delta and lower Egypt with the affluents

[@TingJames7]

The ankh is often shown with Phi proportions, seen by using golden-section calipers. Some models and ankh drawings are more precise to the golden ratio than others, and for people sensitive enough, the energy can be felt. Therefore, some may have used the ankh as a magic wand, as well as in sexual practices.

[@charliebaby7065]

it should be considerably obvious egypt, is a place in which life, lives, on the surface of the planet. the afterlife, is a place that is elsewhere, a land of the dead dead. and if you look at egypt, what major landmarks define the country? its borders, its coast lines, the delta 0 in the north is known as lower egypt the nile (leading to) 2 ln the south is known as upper(or higher) egypt 1 the east side of the nile, is the land of growth, farm land, govt offices and housing 4 the west side of the nile, is the land of passing. here, the pyramids and tombs lay about the surface or within the surface ra, the sun god rises in the east,blessing the land with the light of day and transforms to horus , as night fall, leading his boat into the under world the flow of water, is absolutely neccesary for all the people on the surface and is the main source of resources in the entire country without the nile, no one could thrive as they did. and nor would exist the delta, the largest green area there. this is where all gods would gather with all the other numerous forms of life this is why they are shown holding it in most of their "hero depictions" all of egypt, even the tombs represent all life in that empire (the souls, within the tombs, catch a ride to the under world for judgement, within the darkness, but a chosen few, may, catch ra, before he transes into horus, and may be granted a place at his side, kings amoung the king of gods. either route is above or below or beyond the land of life, egypt in its entirety) seen aligned with the map of egypt, the anhk is life inverted, as would be the setted sun, or where horus travels... below, or upside down is the land of death..... thusly the inverted anhk represents anti life very simple, symbology and mythology even language are all approximations and representations of what we see before us we really dont need to look far beyond that to get the image that the anhk represents it is north south east and west the land inwhich the empire and its people thrive and live. all centered around the nile it represents not only life..... but power and this is why gods would consume it doing so, represents judgement of the people a warning to them for no god is depicted with an anhk within them but at the most show with it , in their hand held by the least populated area.... the top of the delta (and often avoiding crushing the people that rest in east or west )

[@amaasobu3043]

When i was young in Ghana , as a girl my mum will give me this very ankh made by wood to play with ......... its been in our tradition for centuries i also got to know that if a woman is at child bearing age married but cant have children this symbol made with wood is given to her to use as a doll...... any AKAN can bear me witness here.

The right pronunciation is Nkwa(life), not Ankh, as they are saying.
