--- The Swastika, the Earliest Known Symbol; with Observations upon its Migration and that of Human Industries in Prehistoric Times.

[[underline]]Rep. Smithsonian Inst.[[/underline]] (U.S.Nat. Mus.) 1894 (1895) pp. 759-1011, Pls. 1-25, figs. 1-374.  Maps, 1, Chart, 1

The use, if not the origin, of the Swastika sign can be traced to prehistoric times, especially the Bronze Age in Asia and throughout Europe.  It is not found in Babylon, Assyria, Chaldea, nor Egypt.  It appears in prehistoric times - among the North American savages, and in Central and South America, and in continued into modern times.  It is used among the Buddhists as a holy sign, but is believed to have been generally a sign of good luck, happiness, long life.  The question of its migration from one country and from one hemisphere is argued, and the signs and industries of different countries are compared with it.
