All the many times I've heard people say 'The swastika is an ancient symbol that has been used for over 3,000 years' or some such,That's as far as it goes.
There's never any further explanation, eg what it's supposed to bloody well mean.
Just 'It's an ancient symbol, actually.'
Oh. Alright, then.

The ancient symbol is usually done backwards compared to the swastika.It means 'purity'.
