  1. The eagle is the ancient symbol of empire, and was used all across Eurasia, then, the Americas, for government. It's probably one of the most ancient symbols of government there is. What the left hates, is that the eagle represents a nation-state. I say, tough shite.

  2.  @DAAraiz  It's older than that. It goes back to the early Mesopotamians, the Persians, and the earliest rulers, the Yamnaya, which, many years later, became the Scythians on the Pontic Steppe. The very first civilizations. It starts with the double-headed eagle, and the tales about the Griffin (that became a dragon), and the Anzu, which dug and protected the gold. . The Greek pantheon was the same as the ancient pantheon, but they gave the gods and goddesses Greek names. The tale of Polyphemus leads back to the Yamnaya. The Romans did a similar thing.

  3.  @violenceislife1987  What I found, after reading some really old history books published in Britain, stated that the double-eagle may have come from an alliance between the peoples on either side of the Caucasus Mountains, which would have been the Yamnaya to the north, and the Persians and Mesopotamians to the south, who had allied in war at one time. Evidently, the Yamnaya was the south's source of gold, and the Griffin and Anzu represented these tribes. . There was a silver ceremonial axe found, that had a man, with a double-eagle head, fighting a Griffin and a Boar with each hand. It was found, if I recall, in Bactria, and it was from around 2000 BCE. . There is a historical book that tells about two tribes, on either side of the Volga river, close to Samara, where one tribe was wheat farmers to the west, and the cattle herders were to the east. The herders were seen as the ruling class from the Ural mountains, and they supposedly mined the gold. The farmers, from the plains, would slip across the river to steal it. This is also tied to the tale of Polyphemus (the so-called cyclops), who was supposedly the "father of the Celts, the Illyrians, and the Gauls."
