Artefact

The Ankh amulet, also known as “the key of life”, was an important symbol in ancient Egyptian religion. Also known in the game as the Amulet of Horus, it is depicted as a cross with a loop at the top, giving it a key-like appearance.

It is believed that the Ankh represented eternal life and immortality, and was used in religious and funeral ceremonies to grant protection and power to the dead. In addition, the Ankh is believed to symbolize the union of opposites, such as life and death, and cosmic balance.

The Ankh was a popular symbol in ancient Egyptian culture and could be found on a variety of objects, from jewelry to amulets to inscriptions on temples and tombs. Today, the Ankh remains a popular symbol in popular culture and is commonly used in jewelry and tattoos.
