Albania's flag except that it is very old is valued as one of the most beautiful in the world.

But what is the significance of this flag, the red and black color of the two - part eagle?

These questions are answered by historian Muhamet Mala, who says that the use of the eagle as a symbol in political but religious life has begun early in history. According to him, the eagle itself includes many noble elements, which have made that symbol worship.

An eagle in political and religious life has been used early in history, with the latter in pagan beliefs. The eagle itself included many noble elements. It represented pride, freedom, and strength. In ancient times it is even said that Zeus was feeding on the milk of Amalph's goat that the eagle brought him, that was feeding the owners... The eagle is thought to have been a bird, a totem of worship even in Zeus ' mythology, which, in spite of Greek mythology, is also related to the pellage setting. The eagle is also used by the Epirus Piro, even on one occasion when a victory in Italy is won by warriors by the nickname of an Albanian as he retorts: I'm an eagle, but you're my wings. Hence, he used the eagle as a symbol of its greatness. We also face the eagle in the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire. Thanks to their reputation, it is believed that it has spread to other peoples”, Malaj has declared.

According to university professor Skenderbeu, he received this symbol by alluding to Pirron and the symbolic importance of the eagle.

And we find it in the first state of Arber in 1199-1216, when the power of Progon Dynasty with Djind and Dimitri. They were aware of the historical context and tried to use the symbols that had developed a kind of tradition. The tragedy continued with the state of Skenderbe with the eagle, which was the Kastriot coat. But I don't think Skenderbeu took it because it was Byzantine, because in those years Byzantium was declining. He took it by alluding to Pirron and the symbolic importance of Eagle. Its use is not casual, but the continuation of its use by Albanian historical figures. Besides the strategist, Skenderbeu was also a learned man”, Mala claims.

Various versions of historians and scholars are also given to the two - head symbol of the two - headed eagle.

Some think it symbolizes east and west, looking east and west respectively. But it is with other people. In the symbolic sense of the ethnographic, it symbolizes the force of control on all sides, the control of all space and vision. So, like a dominant eagle that dominates both sides, they give him a greater mental force. That's how you create a symmetry and it looks more beautiful. But there is no explanation for 100 % correctly.”, Mala has declared.

According to him, changing the shape of an eagle on a flag over the years does not mean something to be emphasized, but more is done for stylistic reasons.

You can see that the eagle also has a symbol of the police. But the eagle, which symbolizes the Albanian nation, despite changing its form, has not changed the nucleus or essence. This I think was done more for stylistic reasons that were done institutionally and legally, to make it look better. Basic is color, and the content” is expressed by the historian.

In terms of the colors of the flag, Mala says that there is no particular explanation but what red represents the blood and black, the eagle's color. But he gives another explanation.

Let's not go beyond the scientific level where red is said to represent the blood and black-coloured eagle. It should be noted, however, that red and black match and provide beautiful contrast, artistically. Historically, there is no explanation”, it's over. /Dial
