These engraved objects were found near phallic objects, which states Jain may support the idea that the meandering pattern of swastika was a fertility symbol.[47] However it has also been suggested that this swastika may be a stylized picture of a stork in flight and not the true swastika that is in use today.[48] In England, neolithic or Bronze Age stone carvings of the symbol have been found on Ilkley Moor. Mirror-image swastikas (clockwise and anti-clockwise) have been found on ceramic pottery in the Devetashka cave, Bulgaria, dated to 6,000 BCE.[49] Some of the earliest archaeological evidence of the swastika in the Indian subcontinent can be dated to 3,000 BCE --- I'll defend any man's Funbazooka! ...
