"So the cone heads were even around then."

Proving yet again that classic comedy is always the best comedy. :)

Everything that is odd or unusual by modern standards or not understood is “religious” to archaeologists.

My explanation is much better and does a better cut with the Occam’s Razor.

Crazy People.

Some crazy person started walking around with a wax cone on his/her head and others decided they needed to do that too to be cool like that crazy person.

That’s how you end up with feathers stuck in hair, bones stuck in noses, rings stretching necks, all kinds of crazy.

This just proves that Ancient Egyptians were actually from Mars. They only pretended to be from France.

It was more likely a symbol of social status than religion. Like wearing a top hat in the late 1800's and early 1900's...............🤑

For some reason the words “Egyptian” and “headcones” makes me think of Steve Martin.

Give it a few centuries and a selfie stick will be declared by archeologists to be a religious artifact wielded only by high priests and royalty.
