The ancient Gods’ strange “Bag” – It was seen worldwide

From Sumer to Mesoamerica, ancient civilizations separated by over 12,700 kilometers revealed the mysterious purse of the gods

Newsroom November 8 10:24

At Sumerian sculptures and bas-reliefs from 6,000 BC (the Anunnaki carried it), and in the Göbekli Tepe temple from 1000 BC. It is borne by Mesoamerican (Olmec, Toltec, Aztec) and Australian gods. According to its symbology, it may represent a global standard weight measure or a piece of sophisticated technology used by extraterrestrial gods.

The Sumerians began their civilization about 4,500 BC. They portrayed the Anunnaki with weird objects like a pine cone, a “wristwatch,” and a peculiar satchel. Several pictographs depict a winged deity holding a pine cone and the divine purse.
