A sun cross, solar cross, or wheel cross is a solar symbol consisting of an equilateral cross inside a circle. It is a ubiquitous design in the symbolism of prehistoric Indo-European cultures, such as those from the Neolithic to Bronze Age periods. The symbols prevalence and supposed import in prehistoric religion has promoted the theory that it is a representation of the sun, hence its name 'sun cross' from the German Sonnenkreuz. It is also interesting to note the similarities between the sun cross and a wheel, such as those on the chariot of Helios, the Greek god of the Sun. Another fun note is that the sun cross symbol means 'village' in Ancient Egyptian.
