Across various ancient civilizations, from Mesopotamia to Mesoamerica, a peculiar and enigmatic symbol repeatedly appears in stone carvings—what modern observers often describe as “handbags.” These mysterious shapes, resembling a small, rounded bag with a handle or strap, have been found in the artwork of Sumerians, the Olmecs, Göbekli Tepe, and other ancient cultures.
