The Egyptian ankh cross…in Mexico? That’s right. The ruins of a mysterious Aztec temple bears a strange and striking resemblance to Egypt’s ankh cross.

This Aztec ankh temple is perfectly aligned with an Egyptian-like stone pyramid at the same archaeological site. Scholars doubt any Aztec connection to the Egyptians, since both cultures evolved on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and were never in contact.

Yet, strangely, the meaning of this Aztec ankh seems suspiciously parallel to the meaning behind Egypt’s ankh cross.

The Aztecs and the Egyptians were parallel civilizations in many ways, despite having evolved on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Both cultures built pyramids, both used solar symbolism, and both believed in life after death, preparing their dead for a journey to the afterlife via an elaborate and highly-ritualistic ceremony.

Both cultures also used a very similar “tau” cross symbol–for the very same purpose: To signify the forces and interplay between physical life (which they saw as temporary, material) and spiritual life (which they saw as eternal, spiritual).

In Egypt, this cross was called “ankh,” which was formed by a “tau” cross (looks like the letter “T”) with a loop on top of it:

Egypt’s ankh cross is a tau symbol with a loop on top.


In Mexico, the Aztecs and Mayas used the same exact “tau” cross, only with no loop:

Tau-shaped icons built by the Mayans, forerunner of the Aztecs.



“The Tau cross was common enough in Egyptian symbolism that it has sometimes also been called the Egyptian cross… The Spanish conquistadors found the cross to be well known as a symbol by the Incas and Aztecs…”
— Geoffrey W. Bromiley, International Standard Bible Encyclopedia: A-D

“The Egyptian Tau–the sign of life–also occurs on Central American monuments…”
–Robert S. Littell, The Living Age


Usually the Aztecs did not put a loop above their tau cross. However, there exists in ruins a cruciform-shaped building located at an archaeological site called Calixtlahuaca in present-day Mexico. This Aztec ankh cruciform building is stunningly similar, in both shape and design, to countless ankh crosses depicted by the Egyptians.



Can it be proven that both the Egyptians and Aztecs use this same cross symbol to convey the same spiritual beliefs?

Once again, many travelled, interlinked, married, traded with the around world, still many add 1 + 1 so so slowly.

We are all connected. Our cultures are all connected. Our history and the textbooks have been denied all the facts - have been tightly controlled and thus - We are putting the jigsaw back together ....

Much Peace & Much Respect - Amanda

For me, the ankh will always evoke Logan's Run and Sanctuary. Sanctuary meant life.
