The circle at the top represents the nile Delta, the strait part below it represents the river it's self, and the bar across is a marker for the religious (and sometimes royal) capitol of egypt near where the two intersect. The Nile is what susstained and brought life to the people of Egypt. Thus the Ahnk is properly a symbol of water and health or life.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>No. Bad Josh. Bad. The Ahnk is the symbol for the afterlife (on this point I am willing concede ignorance, but Egyptian mythology has no tendency to worship life) and, much more importantly, an Ahnk is properly positioned<em>circle down</em>so your representation is, litterally, backwards. Remember that the delta of the Nile is Lower Egypt, north/south be damned.<br/>These are the fruits of Art Survey 1 from last year, trying to get fine art credits for graduation, combined with StarGate-inspired interest in Egyptian mythology.<br/><br/>Also Josh, the Hummer is a civilian vehicle that's basically a stripped-down, civilianized Humvee with creature comforts.
