Have you ever noticed that the same strange symbol—a handbag or bucket—keeps showing up in ancient carvings all over the world? From the Göbekli Tepe pillars in Turkey to Assyrian stone reliefs in Iraq and even Olmec artifacts in Mesoamerica, this mysterious shape appears in civilizations that never met. That’s pretty weird, right? Some believe it could represent divine knowledge, a ritual tool, or even something otherworldly. But how did people across different continents, thousands of years apart, all come up with the same thing? Could it be a lost connection between ancient cultures—or maybe even a warning about time itself? Whatever the answer, this mystery keeps archaeologists and history lovers scratching their heads!
