Ta am enjoying this. Like the crist cross can be folded into a cube is this a possibility also for the Ankh, but done differingly ?

I don't know if Mystical will be back, so let me give you the answer: it's "no, it can't be transformed into a cube."
So... how do I know?
It has to do with a branch of math related to geometry - a branch called "topology." And if you think math is strange, well... hold on to your hat because topology gets REALLY strange. I'm not going into the strange parts, but one of the things they ask is "how do you transform shapes?"
Let's take a coffee cup and ask "what's the simplest form? What's the most basic shape that you can have that makes a coffee cup?
Pause a second and think about it while I put in a bunch of spaces and then give the answer.

It's a donut.
Surprised?
A coffee cup has the handle (the part with the hole) and the cup part (you make a dent in one wall of the donut.
The first 1 minute 30 seconds of this video shows you how a straw and a coffee cup are equivalent to a donut
The ankh has one hole and a shape on the side that you can think of as being pulled out of one side. So an ankh is (topologically) a donut.

Not that I really needed to venture beyond 3rd grade arts and crafts to solve the problem, but the reply doesn't really make sense in full context and is incorrect topologically. A single contiguous cross shape is no different than a sphere or cube under deformation.

Was meaning any shape, not just cube and yes get the gist of your reply, simple three side foldings may give a piethagarine triangle and so many ways to come from, how would two work together or more, always felt a magnet energy with ankh also what musical instument could one produce and differing types n resonant patterns etc etc.

Corpus Hermeticum isn't that old - it's around 300 AD or so. There's a lot of versions of it - the idea was very popular during the Middle Ages and the time of the alchemists. It was originally a set of 17 books on astrological topics - a popular reference for Issac Newton and alchemists. Some of it's pretty peculiar
Second, there's no such thing as the "Lion's Gate" in ancient Egypt, though there's a Mycenaen (Greek) Lion's Gate. Egypt has a double lion god, the Aker, but they're not a gate. There is not lion at any gate of the Duat.
The closest musical instrument they had that resembles the ankh is the sistrum which was used in all temples as a musical instrument. Although it's often associated with Hatho
NB: The ankh shape is apparently derived from the sandal strap of the gods (loop for the ankle, strap across the instep (the crossbar, and long strip between the toes.

Like I said it could be a binary system always a possibility, our solar system imo may have been once a binary system over 4.5 billion years ago. Check out the Nemesis theory.
But to answer your question on what I feel it is, most likely they represent Double CME bursts. Massive coronal ankh loops somtimes come in pairs or In Successive bursts . Most likely this is the origins .
Great question by the way!!!

Gareth Samuel recently posted an amazing video explaining why we should consider the idea that our solar system is one of many stars in a giant electrical filament – one of two filaments twisting around each other in a giant Birkeland current. His theory and precise measurements explain the unusual proper motion of several stars including Sirius (which he says is a nearby neighbor in the opposite filament of our double helix Birkeland current but not a gravitationally bound binary companion to our sun) and also explains our period of precession, and even why there seem to be particularly bad extinction events every 26 million years.
Do I think that linguists and scholars, who have been studying, translating, and fighting about the language for over 200 years in conjunction with top experts on the Egyptian culture and art know what the true meaning of ankh is? Yes.
Like a window in stonehenge passing through sunlight on solstice the great pyramid has shafts aligning orion on a certain date back in time.
The Research section includes a summary of our basic work investigating the mechanics of precession, describes some of the problems with current theory and gives data to show that solar system motion is a better explanation for the observable known as the precession of the equinox. If you move your mouse over the word “Research” you will find this work broken into five further sections entitled: Introduction, Evidence, Calculations, Finding It and Papers and Articles. We invite you to browse.
Remember these are not people. Asar, the origins of Osiris of course you realize stems from Ancient Vedic. Asar derived from the Vedic Asura .
You know what a skeptical scholar I am, so do you have a link by astronomers to this motion. As far as any astronomy text I've located (so far) describes it, the wobble is caused by planets in the solar system and not any mysterious star (and not only that, but we've got oodles of pictures from outer space and they don't show a second sun.)
