The Djed
The grandfather is a column with a wide base that narrows with its height to the capital of the column and is crossed by four parallel lines. Its appearance dates back to the pre-dynastic era (6000-3150 BC), and it remains one of the foundations of Egyptian icons during the Ptolemaic period (30-323 BC), the last ruler of Egypt before the advent of the Romans. Although it is interpreted as a symbol of stability, the symbol represents a reminder of the imminent presence of the gods, or a reference to the god Osiris, who is associated with rebirth and eternal life. The ancestor is believed to represent the backbone of the deity and frequently appears under the coffin to help the newly arrived soul stand up and walk into the afterlife.

An Egyptian hieroglyph that symbolizes life
The ankh or the key to life is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol that was used in writing and art to represent the word “life” and, therefore, as a symbol of life itself. Its use continued through the Coptic Egyptians who adapted it as the crux ansata which is a version of the Christian cross with a circular ring similar to the ankh ring.
the ankh
The sign has the shape of a cross but with an oval ring in place of the top bar. The origins of the symbol are unknown, although several hypotheses have been proposed. It was used in writing as a triple sign, representing a sequence of three letters A-N-KH. This sequence can be found in many Egyptian words, including the words for "mirror," "bouquet," and "life." The symbol often appears in physical form and represents life or substances such as air or water. It was especially popular in the hands of the gods, or given by them to the pharaoh, to represent their power to preserve life and revive human souls in the afterlife. It was one of the most common motifs in ancient Egypt and was adopted by neighboring cultures as a work of art. Since the late 20th century, in the Western world, the symbol has come to be used decoratively, as a symbol of African cultural identity, neo-pagan belief systems, and Gothic culture.
