Huh. Never heard "pair of compasses" before. Always heard just "compass".

Bruh. Six hours?

Total BS. The icthus is plain wrong (JC Theou Uios Sauter), the svastika isn't one but a nazi cross (it's tilted), etc.

And stealthily sneaking in another swastika at the bottom. I see what you did there Adolf ;)

The peace symbol came from the semaphore sign nuclear disarmament
darthbiscuit
The peace sign represents the letters "N" and "D" for "Nuclear Disarmament" in semaphore. It was designed by Gerald Holtem in 1956.

The trinity knot is pre spread of Christianity, but was adopted by it. Similar imagery is found in Scandinavian runestones as well.

That isn't the Staff of Caduceus. That is the Staff of Hermes. The Staff of Caduceus only has a singular snake.
silverlyon
Not sure if you are trolling.... but upvoting for cleverness in the event you are...
Lovenkraft
I am incorrect... kind of. Caduceus is the staff shown. That being said ASCLEPIUS is the correct staff. Caduceus is still incorrect.

If the heart is derived from the shape of silphium seeds, then it's shown here upside down. It's a stylized picture of a scrotum.
FlashBanana
Thanks
NaClPlatypus
The heart is upside down. The seeds they mention secrete a white substance, which led to their association with testicles.

This is kind of incomplete. There is a hindu swastica but the version used by the nazis is descended from norse shield runes.
Keru
I mean they just literally called it 'the swastika' but no, it's totes descended from the norse 'thunder-cross'.
Irreal
Actually they called it Hakenkreuz, it descended from both as a symbol of the shared indo-germanic origin, seen in the mythical Aryans.

I thought the design of the peace symbol was a combo of semaphore signals for the letters "N" and "D", standing for "nuclear disarmament"
SchrodingersGinger
it is, but without the circle around it you have a "Nero cross" which has older meanings, but the designer probly didnt know that tbh

Wish I knew that before getting g the tattoo....jk

Yeah, my step mom got the Celtic knot thing and definitely does not believe in God. Oops
ChaoticScholar
Well technically the knot didn't originally mean that. There are triads of gods in the Cletic pantheon and apparently magic is linked
joeyGOATgruff
You got a big swastika on your face too, huh?

There is so much error and misinformation here....
