    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.

    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.

      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.

      @@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.

      @@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. 🙂:)

    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.

    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.

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. I don't claim to know exactly what the ankh means, but I know satan worshippers use it as symbolism in their art & music so it can't be Godly

      yes. correct
      and the eyes...... eyes come in pairs.
      eye of ra... is a symbol of a wide overview type of knowledge
      eye of horus, was gifted to him, created with detailed craftman ship. it is a symbol of the fine detailed type of knowledge (also symbolizes protection, as horus travels to the underworld at night fall)
      (ra and horus, are the same god, that transforms at day and night... thusly both eyes belong to the same entity)
      combine the eyes and you have total knowledge
      aka the tree of knowledge
      if you combine the two trees,
      place the tree of life..... within the third eye perhaps?
      as a mask....
      and look through both eyes, you could look outward and look within.
      you could see both nght and day
      ra and horus
      and see what they see along their complete 24 hour orbit
      you could peer into the underworld
      within your own death
      with protection.... from death, as does horus.
      and be given a steady flow of life from the ahnk
      and when the journey cycles anew...
      survive to see yourself rising again within the world, along with the rising sun and ra
      (....... the serpent said to eve
      eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge
      eve replied, i cannot for i will die.
      the serpent .. .no you surely will not die
      but
      he will know, that your eyes
      have been opened)
      within death, we are judged for our good deeds and our evil deeds
      this is what the tree of knowledge shows us...
      in our deaths
      we see
      the knowledge of our own good and evil, at our judgement
      but with the protection it offers
      especially combined with the anhk
      we may have our own mask of immortality
      seeing our death and judgment we come to
      full self realization.
      aka moksha.... the escape, or graduation from the cirlce of karma.... towards nirvana
      where we are to become god like, become one with god
      (also..... look into mosses and his serpent on a pole. sent by god , as a message.
      burning serpents, are messages(messangers) from god, like lighting bolts from zeus.
      some say angels.... casted down to earth. like both jesus and satan.
      the garden serpent.... is known as seraphim....
      meaning
      the bright brilliant colorful burning snake from the heavens.
      now look at ra's headdress.
      a colorful cobra, wrapped around a burning sun.
      ra.... in the garden of eden, as the serpent?
      seraphim
      zahra (brilliant colorful desert flower)
      zoroaster .... the bright brilliant messiah of iran. the SHEPARD of camels, and of men
      urging us to unite good and evil through good deads and bring back the one true god
      ahora mazda
      (all....... religions are telling the same story, using the same symbols, the same characters, and urging us towards, good deeds through full self realization
      and this can only be seen full when you accept the two trees
      as the mask of immortality
      BUT THATS
      just MY opinion.

      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.

    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!

    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. Christians would reasonably see the ankh as a symbol of life because that is what Christ offered, and may see Christ as a fulfillment of this. But that’s just my observation from what I feel I understand.

    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.

    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.

However, I would say that's because they come from a later time when the corn dolly motif had become a SYMBOL - somewhat detached from it's original purpose. Much like a Christian Crucifix. And therefore could be reproduced as an ornament or a piece of jewellery without needing to actually BE a corn dolly.

    Have to say, this is one of your better and more informative videos. Well done on matching the images with what was spoken about this time but I do wish to recognize that the inverted cross may popularly be associated with the Antichrist but historically it was associated with Saint Peter who requested to be crucified upside down because he felt he wasn't worthy to die in the same way as Jesus.

    The Ankh is a shoe strap. Shoe straps Were made by craftsman and women for use as a type of currency in the barter system. The shoe strap is attached to the soul of your shoe so it doesn’t just represent life, It represents your soul’s journey through life. there is a meaning of appreciation and wisdom attached to it. It is a representation of abundance through wisdom that life, or the Neters grant humanity.

    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….👍❤️🙏🏼

    FYI. The upsidedown Christian cross wasnt perceived as evil until around the 1950s when horror movies started to use it. Up until then, it was know as the cross of St.Peter and not evil at all. Peter, who was crucified by Nero or Rome, requested to be crucified upside down, as he felt unworthy to die in the same manner as Christ.

    The abkh is a combination of two VERY ancient symbols. In ancient times, the circle, having no end, represented eternity and the simple cross represented life. Combining them into a single stylized symbol represents 'eternal life'. The Egyptians believed in an eternal life they called the afterlife.

    To me the Ankh is representative of a human figure - head/arms/body and legs as one. 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.....

    It's a sandal.
    Or rather the strapping of a sandal, seen from above.
    The loop is the bit that gies around the ankle. The horizontal line, the strap that goes across the foot. The vertical pit is the strap that goes down between the big toe and the other toes.
    It's original meaning was A Journey. 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.

    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.

    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.
