[Dema]

Oldest one found is from Ukraine. Balkan one from Vincha culture is thousands years old also. It was also wide spread among Illyrians. In india we do not find oldest examples. Maybe i am wrong, lets see..

[Linebacker]

It was just another symbol before Hitler used it.

[Governor]

Hittites, Phrygians, Thracians and Achaeans/Mycenaeans used to have also.

How about Aryan swastika in India? Did Vinca people's descendant in yamna zone bring it to India?

Sanskrit word swasti means auspicious. It has been used for thousands of years by the Hindus for Good Luck. Swastika seals were discovered in the Indus valley. Thousands of Indian inscriptions begin with the word Swasti. Swastika was seen in ancient drawings which were ten thousand years old. Europeans called it a solar symbol. Swastika gives protection from evil eye. Business people drew it on the walls in their shops. Marriage invitations were printed with swastika symbol. Brahmin boys’ heads were shaved before their sacred thread ceremony and swastika was drawn on their heads. But Germans’ wrong usage earned the holy symbol a very bad name.

The term “Aryan”
Nazism distorted the term “Aryan”. The word means “noble”, and it is used in “The Secret Doctrine” by Helena Blavatsky to designate the fifth stage of the evolutionary process, extending over a period of many millions of years. The concept of “Aryan race” refers to the fifth race and covers seven sub-races with a vast number of nations whose individuals have different physical appearances.
From the point of view of esoteric philosophy, the same immortal soul, the Divine aspect of each human being, goes through (or incarnates into) each of the divisions of the evolutionary cycles, including races, globes, rounds and manvantaras. Thus it makes no sense to relate the term “Aryan” or “Arya” with any specific hereditary or ethnological characteristic, or colour skin.
The word is also used in the spiritual sense, and in the “Theosophical Glossary” we find the following definition:
“Arya (Sk.). Lit., ‘the holy’; originally the title of Rishis, those who had mastered the ‘Aryasatyani’ and entered the Aryanimarga path to Nirvana or Moksha, the great ‘four-fold’ path. But now the name has become the epithet of a race, and our Orientalists, depriving the Hindu Brahmans of their birth-right, have made Aryans of all Europeans. In esotericism, as the four paths, or stages, can be entered only owing to great spiritual development and ‘growth in holiness’, they are called the ‘four fruits’. The degrees of Arhatship, called respectively Srotapatti, Sakridagamin, Anagamin, and Arhat, or the four classes of Aryas, correspond to these four paths and truths.” [7]
Let’s see now what the Glossary says about “Aryasatyani”:
“Aryasatyani (Sk.). The four truths or the four dogmas, which are (1) Dukha, or that misery and pain are the unavoidable concomitants of sentient (esoterically, physical) existence; (2) Samudaya, the truism that suffering is intensified by human passions; (3) Nirodha, that the crushing out and extinction of all such feelings are possible for a man ‘on the path’; (4) Marga, the narrow way, or that path which leads to such a blessed result.” [8]
It is evident that “Aryan” was the title of that Sage who, having travelled the path of the highest morality and selfless service to mankind, reached the sublime heights of Divine Wisdom and Compassion.
Something similar happened to the word “Brahamana”, which is conventionally used as corresponding to a social caste in India. The title of “Brahamana” was, originally, given to those who by their own merit and purity had reached the status of initiate or “twice born”, who conquered “every inclination to evil”. The Buddha himself is called Brahamana. This ideal of “virtue and knowledge” is beautifully described in the last chapter of the Buddhist classic “Dhammapada”. There we see the Enlightened One proclaiming, with no reference to caste or any form of social position:
“Him I call a Brahamana who is meditative, stainless, settled; whose duty is done and depravities gone; who has attained the highest end.” [9]
There is another interesting word with the prefix “Arya”:
“Aryavarta (Sk.). The ‘land of the Aryas’, or India. The ancient name for Northern India, where the Brahmanical invaders first settled.” [10]
The Nazis corrupted and then adopted the terms “Aryan” and “Arya”, thus depriving them of their real meaning. Christian authorities have done the same to many other terms, to sacred symbols and relics of ancient traditions, including the Jewish one. Theosophy, on the other hand, has a deep affinity with the fraternal, peaceful and nonviolent action of mystics and philosophers of every nation, religion and cultural tradition.

Satellite Images Reveal Mysterious, Ancient Superstructures Built In Kazakhstan Thousands Of Years Before The Egyptian Pyramids

A few years ago, an amateur archaeologist named Dmitriy Dey was searching for pyramids on Google Earth when he discovered over 200 ancient earthworks that have gone unnoticed for 8,000 years. Located near the former Soviet territory of Kazakhstan, these colossal geometric figures appear in the shape of squares, crosses, lines and rings, measuring hundreds of yards across.

The largest is a square consisting of 101 raised mounds, with its opposite corners connected by a giant diagonal cross, covering more terrain than the largest pyramid in Egypt.

Nazi Germany used the backward facing Hindu/Buddhist symbol to represent a broken-cross "Haken kreuz" (literal translation), which was rooted in the German pagan tradition to expel Judæo-Christian elements and culture from their country. Nazi Germany essentially represents Protestantism (rebellion against Catholicism), despite the willingness of many Catholics to side with Germany during WWII.
