Ho hum, much ado about nothing.

Several years ago I visited Seoul Korea on business.

Every inch of the hotel elevator’s interior was embossed with small “Swastika’s”!
Apparently an old time good luck symbol, appropriate to an elevator in a not quite first rate technology country.

BTW, this was during the “Asian Games” and again two years later during the Olympics.

I bet the elevator has not been remodeled.

Oh, and not only did the Navaho use a version, so did some of our own military up to early W.W. II.
