Did Ibn Battuta really say Mogadishu had an eagle as their coat of arms?

Kinda weird as we don’t have a history of falconry.

Interesting I guess eagles and lions are just a universal symbol of royalty.

UK have no lions but they still use it in their emblems and Somalia has no history of falconry but we got it on ours.

Today i learnt that people all over the world thought that lion and eagle designs look badass.

Would be a badass symbol for the somali airforce

the eagle is a symbol of the arabs and islam, many arab countries use it on their emblems such as yemen, egypt, somaliland, iraq etc. it is called نسر صلاح الدين

We are part Arab League due to our shared religion and culture not us being Arabs

Somalia’s flag should be changed to a modified version of the Darwish flag with the Golden Falcon in the centre.

The current flag looks gay. The new flag would look kind of similar to Mauritania’s flag, but with Red borders also going parallel:

If we were to get a new flag I’d propose a redesign of Adal’s flag, something like this:

The text in question is describing a canopy or a dome shaped umbrella made out silk with a decorative and a unspecified bird made of gold on top of it. The umbrella properly looked something like this.

No he didn't, that wasn't the flag either, why would animals drawings be used as a flag when it's haram , it would be mentioned in banadiri sources if there were any flags

Banadiri were too busy writing down Indian food recipes than actually historical sources

The Romans literally did it first. Especially the orthodox influence by byzantium.

banadiri sources did not mention it because it was written recently

"It was written recently"
It was written in the 1300s by ibn battuta keep coping

Funnily enough it's only banadiris that preserved their history through manuscripts, obviously you'd be envious since your history preservation was basically Chinese whispers
