The Ankh not only is a symbol of Life but the elements that create life.
The Secret of the Ankh led to what our Ancestors of the Nile believed to be the God Particle or what has now come to be known as the Higgs Particle in western physics.
It signified wisdom and insight on the highest level and it was also a fertility symbol.
The ankh was widely used as an amulet in Ancient Egypt.

From the spiritual point of view the ankh represented the key to all hidden knowledge. The loop symbolized the eternal soul as it has no beginning or end.
The ankh was the key to unraveling the mysteries of life and death.


Scarab beetle is a metaphysical and mythological symbol of ancient Egypt.

Scarab is a messenger of eternity, letting you know that fate and destiny are always at work in your life, destiny is comprised of the choices you make while fate is woven by your reactions to events and circumstances.

Khepri (Kheper, Khepera, Chepri, Khephir) was associated with the scarab or dung beetle (Scarabaeus sacer), making him one of the most famous insect gods.
Khepri was often depicted pushing the sun ahead of him and it was thought that this movement was constant. Every night, Khepri would push the sun down into the underworld, and every morning the sun would again emerge and travel across the sky. The word "kheper" means "to emerge" or "to come into being”, that’s why Khepri was strongly associated with rebirth, renewal, and resurrection.

He was given a central role in the "book of the dead" ("the book of coming forth by day") and the "amduat" ("the book of that which is in the underworld" or "the book of the secret chamber") and scarab amulets were placed over the heart of the deceased during the mummification ritual.

These "heart scarabs" were meant to be weighed against the feather of Ma´at (truth) during the final judgement. Scarabs were often inscribed with a spell from the Book of the Dead which instructed their heart .. "do not stand as a witness against me."
