Ancient Egyptian art frequently depicts people wearing cone-shaped headgear, but none has ever been found.

Now an international team of archaeologists has uncovered the first ever physical evidence of Egyptian head cones in the ancient city of Armarna, 194 miles south of the capital Cairo.

The head cones, made from wax, were discovered at two graves in 2010 and 2015. They were found in fragments but researchers have been able to reconstruct their shape.

They provide the first conclusive evidence that the objects actually existed and were worn by Egyptians, according to the archaeologists.

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...............🤑

Makes me want to play banjo.

Come on - they had to have something until tin-foil hats were finally invented!

I thought they were from France

[nanetteclaret]

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

Yep. My theory hold up through the ages.

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.
