Scandinavian scientists said Wednesday that they have identified the oldest-known inscription referencing the Norse god Odin on part of a gold disc unearthed in western Denmark in 2020.
It dates to the 5th century and pushes the worship of Odin back at least a century. Picture of the gold disc they found:
Notice the swastika in the middle of the plaque. There were Nazis running around in the 5th century.

Minnesota Vikings, your team name is next. I mean, the evidence is clear that the Norse were fascists.

Swastika is/was a religious symbol of one of the eastern religions like Hindu or something. Can’t recall right now. That’s interesting if that’s why it’s there.

It's a symbol that has been used for millennia across a number of cultures, including ancient European ones. It's also been found in ancient Native American archeological sites. It's not at all surprising that it would be found on something like this.

Gonna have to melt that swastika off so as not to hurt anyone’s feelings.

Adopted in the west as a symbol of “good fortune” or “good luck” until Hitler came along.

That symbol was around long before the nazi's and before 500 AD
I think it originated in India in the BC era

Hindus and Bhuddists still use it as a symbol of divinity to this day. The Hindus have them faci g right and left and the right facing one represents sun or sunlight and good luck, I believe. I forget what the left facing one means.
It was mainly a Eurasian thing in ancient times, but as others have said, it has shown up in the Americas as well as Africa.

The disc discovered in Denmark was part of a trove containing about a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of gold, including large medallions the size of saucers and Roman coins made into jewelry. It was unearthed in the village of Vindelev, central Jutland, and dubbed the Vindelev Hoard.
I wonder what something like that would be worth if found by a private individual on their land?

There are swastikas inlaid into the floor tile at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans. Noticed last time I was there while waiting in line at the bar.
I am 100% shocked that they haven't had the entire floor replaced by this point.

As late as 1940, the US 45th Infantry Division, made up of National Guard units from the American Southwest, used this as their unit patch…
