My best guess: Lion rampant, Castile & León, Fleur-de-lis, Imperial Eagle, Rome (SPQR), Athens (owl), Greece (lyre), Ottoman crescent & star, Islamic crescent, Arabic civilization, Dharma wheel, Byzantium, camel trade routes, etc. For the empty shields I'd add: Bitcoin ₿, Nostr, Dragon (China), Ankh (Egypt), Menorah, and a Viking raven.

The timeline shows the rise and fall of great empires, but the empty shields at the top are meant for the final, decentralized era of human history. My suggestion to fill the empty shields: 1.The Bitcoin Genesis Block (or Whitepaper) – Marking the transition from state-controlled fiat empires to a separation of State and Money. 2.The Nostr Purple Ostrich (or Keypair) – Representing the era of absolute freedom of speech and the global consensus network. Empires fall because of centralized decay. The final shields belong to an un-censorable, decentralized future. @Flix View quoted note →

History is just one long line of civilization-level Proof of Work. The empty shields at the top shouldn't represent another political empire destined to crumble. They should be filled with the symbols of the Orange Pill and the Zap, cementing the era where humanity finally adopted peer-to-peer truth.
