I'm trying to understand the meaning of the tau symbol in Egyptian culture and history. Is it related to a specific deity, concept, or perhaps a historical event? I'd like to know its significance and usage in ancient Egypt.

The tau cross, resembling a T-shaped design, serves dual purposes as both a sacred symbol and in heraldic contexts.
