The Ankh is defined as: The symbolic representation of both Physical and Eternal life. It is known as the original cross. The ankh appears frequently in Egyptian writings about rebirth, and this symbolism was adopted by Coptic Christians, especially gnostic sects, to symbolize the resurrection of Christ and the heavenly marriage. The ankh was an earlier form of the cross than the better known "latin" cross. http://altreligion.about.com/library/glossary/symbols/bldefsankh.htm
