Zoomorphic Swastika from Kardzhali, Bulgaria :

The small artifact is one of the emblematic artifacts from Bulgaria, found from Kardzhali and dating back to Neolithic. Its age is 8 millennia. This jade amulet in the shape of a swastika has zoomorphic arms (ends of arms are shaped like frog legs).

Closer examination of the artifact showed that the polishing of the amulet which was done with an abrasive material had traces of processing only in one direction. Hand polishing suggests that the microscratches are in two or more directions, so a mechanical device, most likely a wheel was used to produce it. The problem is that according to archaeological science, this type of technique was discovered 3000 years later.

A great mystery is how, with the technology and tools we know Stone Age humans used, they could achieve such perfection in processing one of the hardest minerals.
