Strange Building in San Diego

dmendelson · 04-19-2005, 03:50 AM

Take a look at the strange building in San Diego. It is on the Naval Amphibious Base on the peninsula just south east of Coronado. The building is in the perfect shape of a Swastika. The coordinates are : worldwind://goto/world=Earth&lat=32.67604&lon=-117.15753&alt=2035

This is a bizarre shape to see anywhere, but on a US military base. What were they thinking?

It's a pretty good shape for a building, it leaves lots of windows and courtyards.

And also, before the Nazis used the swastika, it had a completely different meaning. Don't remember right now what it was but it was a positive thing.

So don't judge them too harshly eh?

The History of the Swastika

The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix.

Until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck.

Well, it's been spotted by someone else somehow: The Register - Google tracks Hitler to San Diego (that site is firmly tongue in cheek :P).
