So here is a small Quiz that I composed.
Source & Images: Wikipedia.
When started, Copying & tiling images in a 4 X 3 matrix looked like a simple thing to do, but oh boy!! to homogenous all those backgrounds & copying from PNGs & resizing..uuufff. Could nt have done with out GIMP. Thanks GIMP2.2!!
Match images below ( A to L) with hints (1 to 12) & answer the Questions
(Click on the picture, to get a higher resolution)
Hints & Question:
1. Let's start with an easy one, An Ancient symbol used in many religions & perceived to bring good luck but became a taboo after World War II, some experts attribute its usage across culture in prehostoric times to 'collective unconsiousness' rather than cultural diffusion. Shown here is as used in Hinduism. What is it?
2. An Egytpian symbol for life
3. Named after a king of ancient Israel, symbolizes Judaism signifying the number 7.
4. A Popular Neopagan Solar symbol but used in modern astronomy to denote planet Earth.
5. A Japanese abstarct symbol meaning turning or circular referring to the motion of the earth, you could have seen them on Taiko(Japanese) Drums.
6. Among the Holiest symbol of Jainism, symbol of the seventh Tirthankar 'Tirthankara Suparsva'
7. A magical signet ring said to be possed by King Solomon which gave him the power to speak with animals. shown here is a simple form. What is it called?
8. A popular Irish Myth stating that this was introduced by St.Patrcik during his time converting Pagan Irish to Christianity.
9. an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection and royal power from deities, worn as an amulet to ensure good health and ward off sickness. Some speculate that this could be the orgin for the prescription symbol Rx.( An Accepted theory is that Rx is an abbrevation of Latin word 'recipe' )
10. Raelian, a UFO religion, adopted this symbol for The Raëlian Embassy for Extraterrestrials. Identify it.
11. an ancient Celtic symbol related to the sun, afterlife and reincarnation. A common element of Celtic art and found in Flag of Isle of Man and Flag of Sicily.
12. An Occult Symbol found on the floor of a room at Wewelsburg , notably for its usage in Nazi Mysticism. Banned in Germany based on usage. ( Legal disclaimar, used here for purpose of education & information, OMG!)
There are two ways to answer this quiz, the fun way is to guess, the easy way it to ask Lord Googleshwar!!
Signing off for now,

@ Anjani
Thanks!.
You scored 5/12. Not bad, some of them similar & confusing isn't? If you get a couple of them wrong, most of them goes wrong :)
Will wait for few more people to try, & then publish the answers.
quite a few here a well known symbols, so if you happen to know the name, add them to0
like 1-G-Swastika.
Hi da,I went with the fun way (first option).
warning : My reason could be really silly or totally wrong.
1-G
reason : i don't think this needs a reason so we'll pass on to next
2-K
reason: I've seen this somewhere in discovery channel
3-d
reason: I've seen this in the israel flag+there are 7 white spots inside the 2 triangles
4-e
reason : pure guess
5-C
reason: since u've mentioned as circular .i went with this
6-h
reason: 'Tirthankara Suparsva' has tri in tht and there 3 green dots on top of swastik symbol and swastik is a holy symbol in india and jainism had its origin in india.so went with this option.
7-A
reason: the simplest symbol of the above 12 is option a so went with tht.
8-L
reason: since you are referring to conversion to christiaity went with the cross in the above
9-J
reason:I went with option J because symbols like this (eye) comes in egypt and moreover i was able to see an 'R' in tht and since u refered it as origin of Rx i went with this option.
10-b
reason: on seein option 'B' the first thing came to my mind was three legged alien.
11-f
reason: pure guess
12-I
reason : i had no other option left.

10-b- wrong- Have u not seen B in Judo matches?
