The
peace sign...was originally designed for the British nuclear disarmament
movement by Gerald Holtom in 1958. Semaphore for the letters "N" and "D,"
standing for "nuclear disarmament"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_symbols#The_peace_sign The peace sign is disliked by some Christians to whom it
represents a broken, upside down cross. It also is said by some to
represent the upside down crucifixion of the apostle Peter, as well as possibly
being used, or inspired by pagans imagery.
The Ankh, also
known as key of life, the key of the Nile or crux ansata, was the ancient
Egyptian hieroglyphic character that read "eternal life"... The origin of
the symbol remains a mystery to Egyptologists, and no single hypothesis has been
widely accepted... Egyptian academics, in particular those at the
University of Cairo, aver (sip) that the ankh has been over-interpreted and that it is
representative of the pivotal role of the Nile in the country. The oval head is
said to represent the Nile delta, with the vertical mark representing the path
of the river and the East and West arms representing the two sides of the
country and their unification. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankh
