Thor's Hammer
Thor, the god of thunder and lightning, was the ruler of the sky in Norse mythology. He was the oldest and most powerful son
of Odin, the king of the gods and goddesses. Thor had great strength and was a skilled fighter. His chief weapon was a hammer
named Mjollnir, which he threw at his enemies. Mjollnir never missed its mark and always returned to Thor after hitting a
target. Thor created lightning whenever he threw Mjollnir, and thunder was the rumbling of his chariot as it moved across
the sky. The day Thursday was named after Thor.

Ankh
Hieroglyphic sign of Egyptian origin denoting 'life'. Temple reliefs frequently included scenes in which the king was offered
the ankh sign by the gods, symbolizing the divine conferral of eternal life. The icon was one of the few hieroglyphs that
was comprehensible even to the illiterate.
