World over people can easily identify ancient symbols because of how conspicuous they look. Not only does their beauty and significance captivate but also their magical visage is really unique.
Many of these symbols were depicted in hieroglyphics which is an ancient Egyptian writing system which used object symbols to represent words.
There are many ancient Egyptian symbols although some were more popular than others. Some of them were used by people as amulets in order to bring good fortune or protection.
Others still were used in magical and religious rituals of the ancient Egyptians.
In this article, we shall discuss what is perhaps the most common of all ancient Egyptian symbols and genesis of the Christian cross: the Ankh.
Bas-relief depicting the Ankh, symbol of eternal life, carved on column at Precinct of Amun-Re,
What is the Ankh?
The Ankh is represented by a cross with a loop at the top. It can sometimes be found decorated with symbols and flourishes although most times it was crafted in plain gold.
It is also known as the “cross of life” or “key of life” and dates from the early dynastic period of 3150-2613 BCE. Since the Egyptians believed in the afterlife, the Ankh symbolizes both earthly life and the afterlife.
Because it was a sun-symbol the Ankh was almost never crafted or drawn in silver.
On most occasion, important examples of it were mainly crafted from the metals such as gold and highly polished copper that were associated with the sun.
Ankh, key of life, Abu Simbel
Origins of the Ankh
The exact origins of the Ankh have never been known. However various historians and Egyptologists have different theories. One such Egyptologist is Sir Alan H. Gardiner.
He thought that it originated from an ancient sandal strap. This is because the Egyptian word for sandal was “nkh.” This word comes from the same root as “Ankh” and because the sandal was part of ancient Egyptian life the symbol came to represent life. his theory is still disputed, however.
Another Egyptologist Wallis Bulge also came up with a different theory. He claimed that the symbol came from the belt buckle of the Egyptian goddess Isis.
Wallis equated the Ankh with another Egyptian symbol called the tjet. The tjet or “knot of Isis” is a ceremonial girdle that is worn to symbolize female fertility and genitalia.
Where was the Ankh used?
Inscriptions of the Ankh featured prominently in ancient Egyptian tombs as paintings and other art. Here deities such as Isis and Anubis were seen holding the Ankh against someone’s lips.
This symbolized the gods revitalizing the soul and opening it to a life after death. Symbols of the Ankh were also placed on caskets, tomb amulets and on sarcophagi.
Normal Egyptian folk also carried the Ankh as an amulet much like how a Catholic today carries a crucifix with them.
Mirrors were also shaped to look like the Ankh either for purely decorative purposes or to symbolize the perceived view of the afterlife.
Ankh. Modern art
The Ankh and Christianity
As Christianity gained widespread acceptance in the 4th century Egypt most of the old symbols were banned or simply forgotten.
The ankh however took a new role while still retaining its promise of mortal life and the afterlife. It was adopted by Coptic Christians who used it as a symbol to signify Christ’s promise of life after death in heaven.
The ankh eventually lost its loop at the top to become the modern cross which is today worn by billions of Christians all over the world.

Contemporary piece inspired by jewelry from ancient Egypt designed by Doro Soucy
The grandeur of the ancient Egyptian civilization is evident in the crafts and artifactsleft behind, including jewelry. Egyptians had access to precious metals and gem stones. The discovery of gold, in abundance, in the Nubian deserts revolutionized the Egyptian jewelry making. With their advanced tools, technology and skilled craftsmen, they were among the first who established the jewelry making industry in the ancient world. The precision, details and designs of their jewelry were state of the art, even by today’s standards. Their exquisite designs still inspire jewelry makers around the world.
In ancient Egypt, women, men and children, from poor families to royalties wore the best colorful jewelry they could afford. The material from which jewelry was made differed according to their wealth and status. Nonetheless,necklaces, bracelets, neck collars, pendants, earrings, armbands, rings and amulets adorned their necks, wrists, ears, fingers and ankles.

Wealthy Egyptians wore lavish jewelry made of gold, semi-precious stones and colored glass, which was rare when first discovered and very expensive. They loved pieces designed with scrolls, tigers, scarab beetles, winged birds, jackals, antelopes and snakes. The masses wore jewelry made of copper and colored beads, made of painted clay, stones, animal teeth and bones. Silver was a rarity in Egypt, and hardly used.

Egyptians wore jewelry not just for adornment, but also because they believed in their magical powers. Jewelry brought them good fortune, protected them from diseases and evil eyes, and warded off malevolent spirits, both during their life and in their afterlife, as they also wore their jewelry after death. Royals and nobles were buried with their jewelry, which allowed archeological excavations to discover these treasures; exhibited in museums in Egypt and around the world.

The ankh is an Ancient Egyptian symbol of eternal life. and I have always been fascinated with Ancient Egypt, but would it be weird if I wore one since i’m Caucasian (not Egyptian lol)
Haha, and I have always had this affinity for the Egyptian god Anubis. Like I can connect with him haha. I am pagan aswell.

I’m Pagan as well (Wiccan, to be exact) and I am fascinated with Ancient Egypt. I have an “affinity”, I guess you could call it, with Bast. I see no reason why you should be afraid of wearing an ankh necklace. If I had one, I’d wear it. It’s the same principle as wearing a Pentacle. It’s a symbol of your beliefs. 🙂
The ankh represents life. It would not be weird for you to wear a symbol of something as precious as that. I have worn an ankh for many years now and am not Egyptian. You see it has become a spiritual symbol, not necessarily tied to a religion or culture, even though it originated in ancient Egypt.
Its like this. You can wear whatever you d*** well please. But for further thoughts, no, its quite common for people to wear jewelry that is prominent or symbolic in another culture. The ankh is actually quite popular among your fellow caucasians. But like previously stated, if it doesn’t feel like you should be wearing it, then just take it off.
Nope. I’m a white boy and I wear one. I’m pagan, and a few of my deities are Egyptian in origin, so wearing it helps me connect to them.

The ankh symbol means ‘living’ or ‘life’. The design used for the jewellery is based on the hieroglyphic inscription carved on a limestone slab in the Department of Egyptian Antiquities bearing the names and titles of Ammenemes III, 12th dynasty, about 1825 BC. It is thought that pictorially the sign originally represented the tie straps of a sandal or possibly a mirror in its case.

Ancient Egyptian Faience Necklace by PittCaleb Ancient Egyptians used both gemstones and an early form of ceramic called faience for their jewelry making. They placed great significance on color, not just in jewelry but linked it to the very nature of anything – inanimate object, person or god.
For instance green symbolized abundant crops and fertility. So did black, the color of the rich silt left behind after the Nile flooded. White meant purity and silver represented the moon and stars. Blue as the color of the heavens where the gods lived, was the color they used for the gods’ hair in their paintings. the deepest blue was obtained from grinding up lapis lazuli. For more, read Colors of Ancient Egypt.
One of their most striking necklace designs are the collars. Many of them would look stunning with modern sheath dresses, proving good designs stand the test of time even after a few thousand years! These necklaces remain a wonderful source of inspiration.

Their tiered bead work is simple yet impressive. Shown above and right is a detail from a faience bead necklace ca 1363-1336 B.C. (18th Dynasty) now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Each row represent different fruit and petals – the white beads are supposed to be lotus petals.
Another broad collar going back to the 12th Dynasty is this burial necklace for an official. It was never meant to be worn as there is no clasp and the ties are too flimsy. It too is made from faience beads which are shaped rather like bugle beads. It is now at Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
The Ancient Egyptians used gemstones in jewelry designs but favored glass because of the greater range of colors. The choice of colors was very important for many hues signified something. Green symbolized new growth life.
Nefertiti by Jorge-11 The best way to get the look of an Egyptian necklace is by beaded netting styles. Mortira, who writes the Inspirational Beading blog, has an outstanding post on how she was inspired by the necklace featured on the bust of Queen Nefertiti to create her own beaded collar.
Another inspiration is this original crochet cotton, pearl and sterling silver collar necklace by Durova.

The Ancient Egyptians were very fond of scarab beetles. You might have heard them referred to as dung beetles too. They thought that these beetles symbolised protection and re-birth. When they died, the Egyptians would often be given an amulet in the shape of a scarab beetle.
Show Me can show you how to make your own version of an amulet at home. This amulet would go brilliantly with an Ancient Egyptian costume – did you know that one of the oldest garments ever found belonged to an Egyptian?
For your amulet, you will need:
- Tin foil
- Paint brushes
- Red, blue and gold paint (if you haven’t got gold, try yellow paint)
- Card (an old cereal packet will do)
- Macaroni pasta painted in red, blue and gold – save some gold macaroni for the necklace ‘chain’ (or you can cut up straws and cover them in tissue paper or coloured paper)
- A needle and thread for the chain of the necklaces
- Glue (PVA glue is best)
- Tissue paper or paper to cover the tin foil scarab and red jewel decoration on the necklace.
For the scarab necklace
Make a scarab beetle by scrunching up tin foil into an egg shape and then flatten it enough so you can stick it to the necklace.
Make another circle out of tin foil for the red jewel decoration and flatten one side of it.
Draw the shape of the scarab beetle’s body and legs on card as shown.
Cover the beetle shape in blue tissue paper using the glue. If you haven’t got tissue paper, use newspaper and then paint it when it’s dry. If you don’t have these – draw a scarab beetle, colour it in and stick it to your necklace.
Do the same for the red jewel decoration.
When your painted macaroni is dry, glue it to the gold card in a pattern around the scarab beetle.
For the necklace ‘chain’
Use a needle and thread to string up some of the gold macaroni. If you don’t have these, try string instead and colour it in with a yellow felt tip pen.
