We naturally see symbols through the filters we have grown accustomed to. It makes me wonder how many theories about archaeology and anthropology would benefit from a fresh perspective without the preconceived notions one gets in university.

People have been reusing symbols for eons.

I like the hieroglyph that seems to depict a light bulb or a fighter jet, myself.
Before Germany in the early '30s, this symbol was used for hundreds of years, all over the world and had several different meanings.
@Wrytyr, @Surfpirate I wonder what they really were representations of. I hope there are more to find that can help clarify what is going on there.
@Donna_I I think the science is slowly starting to acknowledge that the lens that many of the early discoveries were viewed may have been a little cloudy.
@Surfpirate thank goodness!
