    Thank you for all your work. I didn't know of the Ankh symbol was so rich in history and that so many cultures used it.

    Do a vid on whether or not black metal fashion is goth fashion, from my perspective, it is.

    Thank you for the video I know this will help people out in the future. For me personally I never wore Ankh's before but I can appreciate them though & in what they stand for. I read a lot on the ancient Egyptian culture the architecture, carvings & art it's very nice but the only figure I really took any interest in was Anubis. Now when it comes to crosses The Irish Cross is by far my favorite

      You're welcome. And thank you for being here. As per the Irish Cross, I do know about it but I can't say I know a lot about it. Maybe this is a sign for me to look it up.
