I think it also serves an artistic feature. Aside from the head every part of an eagle can be symmetrical, but by adding a second head the eagle becomes completely symmetrical. It also gets rid of a bit of blank space opposite to whichever way the eagle’s head points.

Aguilar(Eagle) translation into French is Aiguille (Needle/Arrow), I believe the triple circles on the double eagle heads is the Trinity, Norse symbol for Trinity. In the north of north America, Canada, where I live, the stones all have the old heraldry still on them, I've even found engraved quartz crystals you can examine for images if you illuminate them with a flashlight. Great channel, you helped me big time.The crown is the Arc of the covenant with the body of Christ, when the stones are placed in the crown of Gold, the stones can vibrate the soft gold, vibrating the head to make proper decisions like a clock runs on piezoelectricity, so do we.

fantastic work. Thank You. I offer a hypothesis of sorts. The followers of "Janus". Pre-Genoese, pre-Roman. Merchants -Portugal to Constantinople and beyond. I think in a larger sense it became associated with "organizations" that offer services and quality known throughout the world's ports. In some cases even borrowed into cultures to exemplify certain qualities and stature. Much like the swastika was long used as a symbol for luck and quality before becoming part of a negative group. This Janus duality double headed symbol combined with the eagle in Rome and the griffin in other areas, birthed a dual headed symbol going forward. These merchants moved into politics and into world domination in shipping and finance. which is why the symbol transcends borders sometimes inexplicably. They say follow the money, in this case follow the silk road and its predecessors. Keep in mind that whomever funds the new king's rise to power cares more for the symbol on the banner than the king himself.

Shocking historical fact: Mehmet 2nd was a 3d cousin once removed to Constantine Xi last emperor of the Roman empire 😱😨 Theodora Kantakouzene (Greek: Θεοδώρα Καντακουζηνή; c. 1330 - c. 1396, called also Theodora Hatun) was a Byzantine princess, the daughter of Emperor John VI Kantakouzenos and the second legal wife of the Ottoman Sultan Orhan Gazi. The relationship between Mehmed II and Constantine XI, given their shared ancestry through John VI Kantakouzenos, is somewhat distant and complex. Here's a simplified breakdown: John VI Kantakouzenos is the common ancestor. Theodora Kantakouzene is John VI's daughter and Mehmed II's great-grandmother. Helena Kantakouzene is John VI's daughter and Constantine XI's grandmother. In terms of specific terminology: Mehmed II and Constantine XI would be something akin to "third cousins" because they share a great-great-grandfather (John VI Kantakouzenos). More precisely: Mehmed II is a great-grandson of John VI through Theodora. Constantine XI is a great-great-grandson of John VI through Helena. In this case, the relationship could be described as "third cousins" or more specifically "third cousins once removed" due to the generational difference. that connection is indeed fascinating. The intertwining of Byzantine and Ottoman lineages adds a remarkable dimension to the historical events surrounding the fall of Constantinople. Here is a simplified outline of their connection: John VI Kantakouzenos (Theodora Kantakouzene's father and Byzantine Emperor) Theodora Kantakouzene (John VI's daughter, married to Sultan Orhan I) Şehzade Halil (Theodora and Orhan I's son) Mehmed II (Grandson of Orhan I, through another lineage, but influenced by the shared familial ties) Simultaneously: John VI Kantakouzenos (Ancestor of Constantine XI) Helena Kantakouzene (John VI's daughter, sister of Theodora, married to John V Palaiologos) Manuel II Palaiologos (Son of John V and Helena) Constantine XI Palaiologos (Son of Manuel II, the last Byzantine Emperor) This intricate web of familial ties underscores the complex and often intertwined nature of dynastic politics in the medieval period. Yes, Theodora Kantakouzene's father, John VI Kantakouzenos, was an ancestor of Constantine XI Palaiologos, the last Byzantine emperor. Here's the lineage: John VI Kantakouzenos: Theodora's father, who was Byzantine Emperor from 1347 to 1354. Helena Kantakouzene: John VI's daughter (and Theodora's sister), married John V Palaiologos. Manuel II Palaiologos: Son of John V Palaiologos and Helena Kantakouzene. Constantine XI Palaiologos: Son of Manuel II Palaiologos and the last Byzantine Emperor. This makes John VI Kantakouzenos the great-grandfather of Constantine XI Palaiologos. Thus, Theodora Kantakouzene was the great-aunt of Constantine XI.

Wow! This is not a subject that I have considered for a couple decades. Back then I settled on the understanding that the double-headed eagle originated in Phrygia and that all who used it afterward did so in remembrance of Phrygia, much the same as the Phrygian cap and Mithras, which are also popular symbols/sigils. I had no idea that the double-headed eagle was fashionable in the east too, well excluding Russia, which has practically circled the globe, making an east-west distinction meaningless, I remember Guruda (a big, single-headed eagle) and Narahimsa taking out Hiranyakshipu in Indian lore, but not Gandaberunda taking out Sharabha. Maybe I was distracted while reading that story. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for the really interesting content and your sense of humor.
