\"Mysterious
These two sculptures are from very different parts of the world. So why are they clutching the same bag? (Picture: Getty \u2013 Metropolitan Museum of Art)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You may think that handbags are a modern obsession.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s been claimed that ancient sculptures from several different cultures show deities clutching the same sort of accessory.<\/p>\n

\"Mysterious

It\u2019s been claimed the unusual bits of luggage appears on sculptures made by Assyrians in modern-day Iraq as well as depictions of a god race called the Annukia made by the Sumerian civilisation living nearby.<\/p>\n

Aart showing the God Quetzalcoatl in ancient Mexico and even etchings found at the ancient religious site Turkey G\u00f6bekli Tepe appear to feature similar bags.<\/p>\n

The website Ancient Origins<\/a> said the mysterious bags highlighted other commonalities between the gods depicted in other cultures.<\/p>\n

\u2018Just as the ancient Sumerians depicted their deities in a humanoid form the Ancient Egyptians, and different cultures in the Americas did the same thing,\u2019 it wrote.<\/p>\n

\u2018The obvious question here is why? Why did ancient cultures\u2014separated thousands of kilometres from each other\u2014depict their deities in a nearly identical way? Furthermore, how is it even possible that the Ancient Sumerians depicted their gods carrying a mysterious bag, and that people halfway across the world did the same thing?\u2019<\/p>\n

\"Mysterious<\/a>
Bags can be seen in these images from across the world<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Earlier this year, it was suggested that the bags were either evidence of time travel or contained some piece of \u2018forgotten technology\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n

Now discussion about the bags has erupted again after a YouTube video from The Kepler Telescope Channel<\/a> once again raised questions about their meaning and origin.<\/p>\n

The YouTube channel had this rather wild suggestion: \u2018Agriculture is known to have started near the Mount Ararat, this is also where the Ark of Noah was said to have came to rest and where the survivors of the great flood started a post Cataclysmic Civilization that would spread out in every direction from this point and place.<\/p>\n

\u2018Could these bags represent seeds that were preserved onboard the ark in some sort of vault, maybe they were distributed across the World as we repopulated the Globe after the Great Flood?\u2019<\/p>\n

Hmmmmmm.<\/p>\n

So what do you think?<\/p>\n
