Researchers say the 1,000-year-old object with a swastika on its stomach is made from a rare form of iron with a high content of nickel. They believe it is part of the Chinga meteorite, which crashed about 15,000 years ago. The findings appear in the Journal, Meteoritics and Planetary Science. The 24cm (9-inch) tall statue is 10kg (22lb) and is called the Iron Man.

The swastika predates Nazi Germany and they probably saw it as a sign. Something tells me they'll make a movie out of this.

I've seen a documentary on the History Channel sometime ago about the Nazis and their search for items from the past to justify their evil beliefs and intents. Maybe there's a movie in the works?
From what I understand, the Nazi symbol always has the elbows pointing counter-clockwise (ie. mirror image of that on the statue).
