What are the symbols of ancient Egypt?

What were they used for and what good are they to us today?

The ankh caught on as a love symbol in the 1960s, the pyramid decorates the back of the US dollar. Are these symbols just decorations or do they effect us, our consciousness and culture, in some significant way?

Someone displaying an ankh tattoo may be signaling some nonconformity to the ersatz patterns of human relationships, or they may just like the design. The pyramid on the dollar, according to some interpreters, provides deep insight into the true purpose or destiny of the United States.

Both the tattoo and the money symbols send a message beyond words which may reveal something essential which the person or the nation wishes to communicate without being too direct. Or perhaps direct but not obvious to everyone.
