What is an Ankh?

By , About.com Guide

Question: What is an Ankh?
The "Ankh" was first introduced in Episode 5x8, LaFleur.
Answer: The ankh is a cross with a loop on the top that many Egyptian Gods are portrayed as carrying. The Egyptian hieroglyphic stands for eternal life.

In episode 5x8, LaFleur, Amy took the ankh that was around her late husband's neck and then three years later, she and her new husband, Horace, got in a fight about it.

Also, when Sawyer's group flashed way back into the past, they saw the back of a large statue that may have been holding and ankh by the loop.
