What is the eagle of Lagash? Sounds like you're in the know. I was very disappointed to learn Luxembourg was involved in our election's fraud, and now you are apparently implicating Lichtenstein, too. :(
This is what it is: a symbol used by different entities for differing reasons.
In the case of the city of Nijmegen, a city established in 5 AD, yes you read that right, 2000 years ago, as a Roman frontier city. Around 800, wne Charles the Great was crowned Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, he spent time there and doing his business, holding court. Hence the imperial emblems. It means: we are a free city directly under the Holy Roman Emperor, don't fuck with us.
And because they were also a Hanse League Member, it meant: we are a free city, mr. Kaiser, so don't fuck with it us.
So at best, a bunch of guys have no creativity and take an old emblem and simply say: as of today, the meaning of this emblem is this
The contents of the story is much richer than you can imagine.
Check my post history I have been dropping information about the Y HEADED PHOENIX all week because Q said to follow the Owl and Y Head around the world. It seemed mysterious and historical and noone seemed to know much about it. Here is a taste:
The double-headed eagle first originated in the mighty Sumerian city of Lagash. From cylinders taken from the ruins of this ancient city, the double-headed eagle seems to have been known to the kings of the time as the Storm Bird. From the Sumerians this symbol passed to the men of Akkad, from whom it was brought to the Emperors of the East and West by the Crusades. Charlemagne first made use of the double-headed eagle when he became head of the German Empire, the two heads denoting the union of Rome and Germany, in AD 802. Long used as the insigne of a Scottish Rite Mason, the "Double Headed Eagle of Lagash" is now the accepted emblem in North America of the 32 Degree. It is the oldest crest in the world. It was a symbol of power more than two thousand years before the building of King Solomon's Temple. No other heraldic bearing, no other emblematic device of today can boast such antiquity."
"The city of Lagash is in Sumer in Southern Babylonia, between the Euphrates and the Tigris and near the modern Shatra in Iraq, Lagash had a calendar of twelve lunar months, a system of weights and measures, a banking and accounting system and was a center of art, literature, military and political power, five thousand years before Christ". "In 102 B.C. the Roman Consul Marius decreed that the Eagle be displayed as a symbol of Imperial Rome. Later, as a world power, Rome used the Double-Headed Eagle, one head facing the East the other facing the West, symbolizing the universality and unity of the Empire. The Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire continued its use and the symbol was adopted later in Germany during the halcyon days of conquest and imperial power". So far as is known, the Double-Headed Eagle was first used in Freemasonry in 1758 by a Masonic Body in Paris - the Emperors of the East and West. During a brief period the Masonic Emperors of the East and West controlled the advanced degrees then in use and became a precursor of the "Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite". The Latin caption under the Double-Headed Eagle - "Spes Mea in Deo Est" translated is "My Hope Is In God."

The double-headed eagle is the emblem of the thirty second and thirty-third (and highest) degrees of Scottish Rite Freemasonry
Thanks. I don't really know anything about masonry at all.
So, you are claiming that when you see this coat of arms you think of freemasonry?

ok so what's weird about a bunch of European countries using a symbol derived from a Roman imperial symbol
