The ancient gods of Egypt such as Osiris, Ra and Isis all carried the Ankh sign. This was believed to represent the breath of eternal life. The Ankh was also associated with the givers of life: water, sun and air. Anubis is often portrayed offering the Ankh as a symbol of life in the afterworld. The Ankh is also a strong amulet of protection.
