Egyptian symbols of life are represented by the ankh, a hieroglyphic symbol that looks like a cross with a loop at the top. The ankh is one of the most recognizable symbols from ancient Egypt and is often seen in hieroglyphic inscriptions, art, and artifacts. It is believed to represent the concept of eternal life and is associated with the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt. The ankh is also known as the key of life, the key of the Nile, and the breath of life.
