Re: Is the Swastika evidence of a common origin?

There is some evidence that the svastika symbol has been found
at Indus valley sites (2500 bc - 1500 bc)

This predates the arrival of the Indo-Aryans and certainly
predates the Rigvedic period that is commonly accepted to
be 1200 bc - 800 bc.

It seems therefore to indicate that the so-called Aryan
symbol actually originates in earlier times.

has anyone any interest or confirmation of this?
