And 13 stars at the top that form a 6 sided star. And the 13 stripes in the american flag. My god. --- End quote --- wait what? |

There are: 13 stars (in the "glory" above the eagle's head) 13 stripes on the shield 13 arrows in the eagle’s talon 13 letters in the mottos "e pluribus unum" and "annuit cœptis" (apparently coincidental; there are 52 characters on the whole seal, which is itself evenly divisible by 13) 13 olive leaves (by custom, not by law) 13 olives on the branch (by custom, not by law) 13 brick levels of the pyramid (by custom, not by law) 13 sides showing on the ribbons (by custom, not by law) --- End quote --- |
