We are here reminded of the fact, already noted, that the Egyptians represented their God of Generation, Khem, or Amen-Ra Generator, as wearing a conspicuous St. Andrew's cross. And as Khem was the Egyptian Priapus it ought also to be pointed out that it was in ancient times the practice to erect wooden crosses to this conception of the Sun-God. An illustration of one example of the crosses erected to Priapus can be seen in figure XI. of plate XXIX. of that well-known work, _Antique Gems and Rings_.[67] And the phallic nature of such crosses cannot be denied. Returning, however, to the discoveries of Dr. Schliemann upon the site of Troy, we find on page 350 of _Ilios_ that both varieties of the Svastika cross are extraordinarily common upon the articles he discovered. As an Indian symbol the Svastika cross can only be traced back as far as the fourth or fifth century B.C.; and its occurrence upon these and other relics of earlier ages and other lands, shows us that it is inaccurate and misleading to speak of it as "Indian." The origin of the Svastika cross, whether the {image "svastika1.gif"}, or the {image "svastika2.gif"}, is unknown; but Dr. Schliemann quotes with approval Professor Max Muller's remarks to the effect that Mr. Thomas our distinguished Oriental numismatist "Has clearly proved that on some of the Andra coins and likewise on some punched coins depicted on Sir W. Elliot's plate ix. _Madras Jour. Lit. and Science_, vol. III., the place of the more definite figure of the sun is often taken by the Svastika, and that the Svastika has been inserted within the rings or normal circles representing the four suns of the Ujjain pattern on coins. He has also called attention to the fact that in the long list of the recognised devices of the twenty-four Jaina Tirthankaras the sun is absent; but that while the eighth Tirthankara has the sign of the half-moon the seventh Tirthankara is marked with the _Svastika, i.e._, the sun. Here then, I think, we have very clear indications that the Svastika, with the hands pointing in the right direction, was originally a symbol of the Sun, perhaps of the vernal sun as opposed to the autumnal sun, the _Sauvastika_, and therefore a natural symbol of light, life, health, and wealth. That in ancient mythology the sun was frequently represented as a wheel is well known. Grimm identifies the Old Norse _hjol_ or hvel, the A.-S. _hvehol_, English 'wheel,' with {kappa|upsilon with tonos|kappa|lambda|omicron|rho}, Sk. Kakra, wheel; and derives jol, 'yule-tide,' the time of the winter solstice, from hjol, 'the (solar) wheel.'" Both the {image "svastika1.gif"} and the {image "svastika2.gif"} occur upon the famous footprints of Buddha carved upon the Amaravati Tope, and Dr. Schliemann remarks that we find the Svastika or Sauvastika cross
