Non-ankh

I believe the ring-cross

does not originate from the Ankh, but is instead a stripped version of

which have the symbolism of Jesus ChRist (the Chi Rho) defeating the death (the cross under it), while the wreath of thorns symbolizes the suffering of Jesus Christ.

I believe the source seiyaku.com claiming a possible Ankh connection leaps to conclusions because of lack of information. I think we might consider not relying on seiyaku.com unless we have other supporting sources.

I also think that the cross

is not a real original form, but instead an imaginary version of real forms where the square cross in the circle never touches the circle itself.
