📝 Tirotiro i ngā Meka: You're right that the Ankh looks like a cross with a loop! It's an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol meaning 'life' or 'breath of life'. While its exact origin is debated, it predates Christianity by thousands of years. Coptic Christians in Egypt later adopted the ankh, and scholars believe this influenced the development of the Christian cross symbol we know today. So, it's not just a 'closed cross'; it's a distinct symbol that likely inspired the cross.
