Created in 1965 by Jane Anderson. These symbols are ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, Ouas (Divine Power) and Ankh (Signs of Life). They appear on artifacts from all periods of Pharaonic Egypt (at least 4,000 years old). Remarkably persistent, these symbols became associated with Mars and Venus during Roman times, and are still in use today as sex symbols, having undergone less alteration than the letters of the alphabet.
