The double head  eagle has been present in all ages that our country has been through… In ancient times and ongoing double-headed eagle represents the solar power in this world, the earthly world and the hereafter, day and night, as a single body that exists displayed only with the unit within the dual unity”, has said Brahaj as he counts all the evidence that we have for the worship and the use of this symbol, since the proto Illyrian, Illyrian, followed later in the period of Skanderbeg and later, on independence day.
