As a symbol, the Ankh cross belonged and belongs exclusively to the Adepts of each country. It is a symbol of salvation and insight and has been adopted as a Masonic symbol in the Royal Arch rite. The Ankh Cross is often called the Astronomical or Cosmic Cross, its image is located in one of the Palenque temples in Mexico, and all Egyptian symbols of the gods have the Ankh cross in their left hand. Latins called this cross by the name of Crooks Ansata. The Tau cross is a T, or only part of the Ankh cross without a handle. The oldest Egyptian cross was called TAT (the energy meaning of the sounds-letters of which is here the power of life), depicted in the form of a cross +. Crux Ansata or Ankh was a symbol of immortality.
