Why does the Christianity Cross so strongly resemble the Egyptians Ankh?

Floco: Maybe it's the fact your looking at one design compared to many. By the way the Egyptians don't own the cross. It was paid for by one person! And that was not the Egyptians you speak of. Talking about Rip OFF! The cross belongs to those who recieve the one that was held on it because of His Love for all.Good Luck Steve
