Bronze Age vessel with a swastika symbol discovered in Western Armenia.
Unearthing a Bronze Age vessel with a swastika symbol in Western Armenia’s Mush region is indeed an extraordinary archaeological discovery. Dating back to the 14th century BC, this artifact is linked to the Ararat Kingdom, an ancient civilization that thrived in the area.
The swastika, alternatively known as 卐 or gammadion, has been a significant symbol in numerous cultures globally. Historically, it was believed to embody good fortune, prosperity, and well-being. Within the context of the Ararat Kingdom, the swastika likely held a similar connotation.
Crafted from bronze, the vessel’s design is characteristic of its era. The swastika symbol is etched on the vessel’s body, accompanied by other decorative patterns.
This remarkable find offers a window into the Ararat Kingdom’s material culture and symbolism, shedding light on the swastika’s extensive history in the region.
However, it is crucial to acknowledge the swastika’s unfortunate association with hatred and bigotry in the 20th century due to its adoption by Nazi Germany. Now, to respect the symbol’s historical and cultural context, it is essential to exercise caution and avoid inappropriate usage. https://t.co/eJgtWySaqq
@HardcoreHistory@DBolelli There is an old scripture which suggest that exiled kings of Bharat(India) formed the Egyptian civilisation. Do we have any historical archeological links?
Sanskrit inscription on a stone slab found in #Berenike, Egypt dated 4th c CE. It contains several lines of poetry dedicated to Lord Vishnu. Signed by a man named Bhanuka. The slab was found in a building believed to have been a Hindu temple.
Take a close look at this photograph. A slice of colonial India where Indian servants used to diligently sway Punkhas for their British ‘masters’. But, why aren't they pulling the ropes with their hands? Sit back as we unravel some intriguing history. Thread. 1/15
