Lion & Sun


Every nation has a symbol in its history that show the culture and civilization of that nation.For example the symbol of persia is "Lion & Sun".In the photo,you can see the Sun up this ancient persian coin and the Lion down the coin.In persian culture Sun is symbol of pureness and Lion is symbol of power. Can you tell me what the symbol of your country is?

Sweden has three crowns in its shield, there is different stories about what they represent, one is that they represent the three parts of Sweden: Svealand, Gotaland and, now a lost part, the land of the Vendes. Another version says they represent the Christian trinity.

I come from a country where there were many different races. Which diversified on their own. Buddhism, Jainism originated in our country. On top of that the original inhabitants procreated with the ancient Persians, Arabs, Mongols, Britishers who came to India to rule/plunder/learn etc. So now we have a country of billions who have different religions, cultures etc. Therefore there are zillions of symbols here! :D
