 The Ancient Egyptian symbol of eternal life, on a lovely turquoise blue circle, which is also translucent. Background color is iridescent Azure Blue. This ancient Egyptian staff sign or god staff - ankh, was also the hieroglyph used to symbolize reproduction and sexual union. Acccording to other sources it meant life and zest for life. Hathor, who was both the Goddess of Life and the Goddess of Death carried the ankh and gave life with it. Sometimes the hieroglyph ankh is called the key of the Nile. The symbol is associated with Imkotep - the physician for the Pharaoh's family. Long after his death, Imkotep was made the God of Medicine or Healing in Egypt. That is why this symbol is used as the logotype for a large pharmaceutical manufacturer. Interestingly - the same symbol but with the closed element filled in has been found in Peru used by the Mochica culture around the 7th century. This fact is one of the many reasons to believe in many more contacts between the Mediterranean cultures and pre-Columbian America than is sometimes accepted by the academic establishment.
