This is the earliest known double-headed eagle from the Pagan Hittites who are a link in Freemason history.
There might be something to the fable of an eleventh century Byzantine emperor, Isaac I Komnenos (an Armenian?), fighting a double-headed eagle and returning affected by his experience. But the demonic image of the Hittites (in modern Turkey) was not then made a part of the Byzantine Christian Empire as an official symbol. This fable seems very closely related to the continued history of the same Komnid Byzantine Dynasty with John II Komnenos. In the twelfth century he made alliances with the Frankish/German Holy Roman Empire of the heretical west for military purposes (Hitler also used the double-eagle). We see that, “As early as the eighth century, French Masons were being organized and instructed by the Frankish king Charles Martel” (The Templar Code for Dummies, p.184).
The satanic Freemason double-headed eagle is traceable, through Hungary and Armenian use, to the Crusaders. One of the images above shows that the Holy Roman Empire of Germany had the double-headed eagle in the twelfth century too. I have not found any good reference that Byzantium had the double-headed eagle earlier than the Holy Roman Empire. Everything points to Orthodox Christian Byzantium having this influenced brought to them in 1204 by the Frankish Crusaders. The unholy image of the double-heads is a foreshadowing of more terrible things to come. By all valid reports the official use of the double-headed eagle in Orthodox Byzantium began in 1204, influenced by the Frankish Crusaders who sacked it in that very year.
These type of things are what developed into the Inquisition and other atrocities, we ought to have no part with them. So I would point out that the Abomination of Desolation (double-headed eagle) beginnings in Byzantium have some distant associations prior to 1204. The more strict Old Believers have always seen the double-headed eagle and 2-headed snake symbols, that are in the New-Rite, as being the Mark of the Beast.
