Who invented the eagle meme? It can't just be the association

Rome used it pretty extensively, especially in regard to her military.

Its an ancient, sacred symbol. Like the swastika or the flood myth it appears in multiple places across the world likely because it originates in heaven.

The eagle is the king of birds, as the lion is the king of beasts and the dolphin is the king of fishes. That's why it's such a popular symbol

Have you ever seen an eagle hunt? They're badass.

The famous two headed eagle symbol is first seen among the Hittities and Mesopotamians

>>2420626
Ok, the reason it's considered king of birds is that it's large and majestic

>>2420638
I always heard the two heads symbolized the two emperors of Rome after the split between east and west

It's an apex predator, people respect that sort of thing and like to have it in their own trappings of power, especially when associated with impressive animals. Same with lions, tigers, and bears.

No, this is a Hittie carving, it dates back to a thousand years before Rome was even a republic, and it's almost a carbon copy of the current Albanian flag.

>>2420702
But in a Roman and later a German context I understood that to be the symbolism. So you're saying they took it from Hittites?

>>2420351

It's way before the Greeks, the eagle was a royal symbol for the Sumerians, and a religious symbol for the Egyptians, before becoming an imperial symbol under the Akkadians.

Not directly, probably Hittities passed it to other Anatolians, who passed it to Greeks

THE BICEPHALOUS EAGLE SYMBOL IS FOUND WORLDWIDE, INCLUDING MESOAMERICA, THEREFORE IT IS NOT A "HITTITE SYMBOL"; IT IS THE SYMBOL OF THE WORLDEMPIRE/ROME, WHICH ORIGINALLY COMPRISED ALL CONTINENTS.

THE BICEPHALOUS EAGLE SYMBOL IS A STYLIZED DEPICTION OF A PLASMA "PERATT" COLUMN.

OLDER AND SIMPLER VARIATIONS OF THIS DESIGN HAVE ALSO BEEN FOUND ALL OVER THE WORLD; THESE OLDER AND SIMPLER DEPICTIONS RESEMBLE A STANDING "STICKFIGURE"; QUOD VIDE: ATTACHED IMAGE.
