Description This Beautiful symbol has been tarnished in the west by the Nazis. This symbol has been with human kind for aeons. People from the east, namely from Asia still uphold their Solar-Cross. Here you see the swastika from various cultures in the world.
To be clear the Christian cross did exist before christianity.

This symbol represents the following : Sun, Wealth, Luck, Fortune

From the top to right : Hopi indians, Ancient Egyptians, Celtic / ancient european, Cross- various cultures, Swedish / finnish, Slavic or "Hand of god", The standard one, China, Hindu, Japanese, Malta, Aztek. The middle one is the symbol for the sun, which is found in various culturues.

Bear in mind there are more variations of the swastika but due to graphics and ideaology i kept them in number of 12 (13). That ideology is the 12 zodiac and lost 13th one .

This was done through extensive material research, sadly i cannot report sources since i've forgotten them. If you can counter my claims please do.

This was part of a collage project, Find "history in art" and this is what i got.

Do you know the origin of the one that looks like four interlocked squares on the right side of the picture?
