History

Ankh -also known as key of life, the key of the Nile or crux ansata, was the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic character that read "eternal life"-Wikipedia

Hurst -noun. a hillock, knoll, or mound; a grove or wooded hillock.

The present building was constructed by a secretive organization on what was rumored to have been an ancient druid circle of black obsidian obelisks. It was known as the AnkheHurst or "Ankh-hill" due to the carvings on the obelisks that are believed to have been created several thousand years before the great pyramids which has fueled speculation that they may be traced to fabled Atlantis. The building was founded by a conglomerate group of private and public organizations and named Akehurst at it's groundbreaking which enclosed the obelisks in the ground level of the structure. It has been noted that the penthouse level has a pyramid like structure and 3 structures that form the radio masts are shaped to form the common heraldic device for the new moon symbol. Whether on purpose or merely by coincidence remains unknown.
