The swastika originated in ancient cultures, with its earliest known use dating back to around 10,000 BCE in the Indus Valley Civilization. It has been found in various cultures worldwide, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and ancient Greek and Roman societies, where it symbolized good fortune and auspiciousness. In the 20th century, the swastika was appropriated by the Nazi Party in Germany, which led to its association with hate and genocide, overshadowing its earlier positive meanings.
