This was in the news today, i think it is amazing:

A mysterious Buddhist statue with a history that sounds like an Indiana Jones movie plot has extraterrestrial origins, researchers have discovered.
The 1,000-year-old artefact stolen from Tibet by Nazi scientists in 1938, is carved from a meteorite.


A large swastika in the centre of the 24 centimetre-tall figure may have enticed the German expedition leaders, who were supported by Nazi SS chief Heinrich Himmler. Swastikas decorate many Buddhist and Hindu statues. The ancient symbol was adopted by the Nazis, who modified it into a mirror-image form. Himmler believed the origins of the Aryan race could be found in Tibet.

"Its origins alone may value it at 20,000 dollars (£12,400). However, if our estimation of its age is correct and it is nearly 1,000 years old, it could be invaluable."

common misconception. Buddhists use it both ways

The East Indian motel owners of Ebony Motel in San Diego use a swastika every day. They lay it out in some sort of yellow powder.
