Similar solar symbols are known among many Indo-European tribes. There are known ancient Hellenic Boeotian idols-bells, now in the Louvre (700 BC). Seven-rayed swastikas were used by the Germans. A similar symbol with the family of rays was found among the Slavs (thyroid pendants). All this became the prototype of the modern Kolovrat symbol, raised to the banners of the pagan revival.
