Well, my humble opinion is that any people who can make something as good and tasty as ZUPPA TOSCANA can’t be all bad.

While serving in Japan in 1960 I did a lot of touring and sightseeing. At a shrine in Nara, we were amazed to see swastika symbols adorning a very old temple there. The docent explained that the swastika is a symbol that goes back several millennia in Nippon religious culture. The nazis borrowed it from Japan, apparently.

The Perugia archaeological museum has some interesting Etruscan items--a stone stele with one of the longest Etruscan texts, and a recreated underground burial chamber with lots of Etruscan coffins.

Herodotus claimed that the Etruscans came from Lydia (western Asia Minor) and most ancient Greek and Roman authors seem to agree (except for Dionysius of Halicarnassus). Could the Aeneas legend (popular among the Etruscans) reflect a memory of immigration from western Asia Minor? Then there is the issue of an Etruscan-like language being spoken on the island of Lemnos in the northern Aegean.

said, "Wonder how it became the Nazi symbol"

The Nazi's where paganist. They where to cleans Germany of all FOREIGN religions.

Germany where against all religions signed into law in 1934 in the up by the thirty-point program for the future of the German churches Among its articles: (1) the National Reich Church of Germany was to claim exclusive control over all churches in the Reich; (5) “the strange and foreign Christian faiths imported into Germany in the ill-omened year 800” were to be exterminated (there word)

both groups appear to be migrants from the Pontic-Caspian steppe — a long, thin swath of land stretching from the north Black Sea around Ukraine to the north Caspian Sea in Russia.

Which is why most English have Celtic DNA, not Anglo Saxon DNA, and most Hungarians have Slavic DNA.
.......
My understanding is that the celts are originally from the black sea region. Sometime in the bronze age about 1500 bc —they moved into europe—for much of that period they had a trading network going that was centered around the Helvetii of Switzerland and bavaria. The trading network went as far as into England. The Celtic culture in europe was dominant even in places where there were few celts—as was the case in England. The genetics of the welch the Irish are more similar to some groups along the Atlantic fringe in spain and Portugal. But their languages is celtic.
