Arpa Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 ԿԵՌԽԱՉ Is the Armenian word for the symbol. Kerkhach, Hooked Cross (Note. Will the contributors to the thread “Anetsis” please move theirs’ here so we don’t repeat things over and over. The subject of Swasticas in Armenian culture has been discussed numerous times the most complete may have been this initiated by Boghos.) http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=1581&hl= Also a simple search on this forum using “swastika” as the keyword will open many threads. Կեռ kerr means hook(ed), sometimes կոռ korr or korntartd as in korr gith, hooked nose. ԿԷՌԽԱՉ Սվաստիկա սանսկրիտ- su asti լաւ լինել., (from the Sanskrit su asti- wellbeing) Skip the common talk about it, and how it became the Nazi symbol. Հայկական լէռնաշխարհում Կեռխաչը հանդիպում է դեռեւս հնագոյն ժայռապատկերներում It has appeared in many shapes and forms as decorative engravings on earthenware (excavated in Vanadzor,), rock carvings and metal, bronze etc. artifacts such as ornaments and jewelry as well as medallions. In time the symbol has undergone changes where the arms have become curved and more bends have been added…Of the many places the symbol has also appeared at the façade of monuments at Ani. http://www.angelfire.com/hi/Azgaser/swastika.html hytga Today, 03:42 AM anyone notices the nazi sign? was it historically there or the turks are trying another one of their dirty tactics. If it was there, was it like that or it was actually more curved like most of arian signs? http://arcimaging.org/GeisslerRex/AniWallGate20001.jpg PS. Does the Armenian word for God, Astuats, Astvats have anything to do with Sanskit "su asti" above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
