Check out the pointed hats in these pictures. Pointed hats are all over prehistoric Europe. Even the 4,000 year old Urumchi mummies have them.

Pointed Hats

"Pointed hats have been a distinctive item of headgear of a wide range of cultures throughout history. Though often suggesting an ancient Indo-European tradition, they were also traditionally worn by women of Lapland, the Japanese, the Mi'kmaq people of Atlantic Canada, and the Huastecs of Veracruz and Aztec (illustrated e.g. in Codex Mendoza). The Kabiri of New Guinea have the diba, a pointed hat glued together.[1]

The costume looks pretty Bolivian to me but that's because we have half a dozen Bolivian families in the neighborhood who put them on for parties.

That does not mean the style originated in Bolivia ~ just that it's still used by them.

Now, the hieroglyphics, poor Mr. Fell arrived in this world too soon ~ he missed out on the discoveries that the Sa'ami may well have made it to North America, North Africa, Central Asia and possibly other places as early as 14000 years ago.

Consequently when you discover a Micmac or other symbol carrying the same, or a cognate value as an Egyptian hieroglyphic, that doesn't mean an Egyptian visited the Micmacs. In fact, all it might mean is a Micmac or Bolivian dope dealer may have made it to Egypt (note: cocaine residue inside cells of Egyptian mummies from thousands of years ago demonstrate somebody did something eh).

Most of these symbols or hieroglyphs are derivative of the "module of design" implicit in human structure. "Full cup" or "handful" or "all" could very well have the same character arise in many societies over thousands of years. That'd be a bowl shape like a "cupped hand".

"I" or "myself" would always be an arm raised straight up overhead ~ like a first grader eager to answer a question.
