The Oldest Known Symbol
The swastika is an ancient symbol that has been used for over 3,000 years. (That even predates the ancient Egyptian symbol, the Ankh!) Artifacts such as pottery and coins from ancient Troy show that the swastika was a commonly used symbol as far back as 1000 BCE.
During the following thousand years, the image of the swastika was used by many cultures around the world, including in China, Japan, India, and southern Europe. By the Middle Ages, the swastika was a well known, if not commonly used, symbol but was called by many different names:
* China - wan
* England - fylfot
* Germany - Hakenkreuz
* Greece - tetraskelion and gammadion
* India - swastika
Though it is not known for exactly how long, Native Americans also have long used the symbol of the swastika. |

I didn't realize that it was associated with Ganesha. It is on his palms.

The Swastika was worshipped by all cultures who worshipped the sun (Vedic Indians,Greeks,Zoroastrians of Persia,Celts etc).It is basically a sacred symbol for the sun people.The swastika represents the revolving sun, without which life cannot exist. Another theory for the origin of the swastik is that this shape was spotted by in the night sky some 7000 years ago...hence it was adopted by many cultures around the world, which were not in contact with each other. In any case it is probaely the oldest symbol known to mankind.
