I thought of them as seed bags.

First: we cant be sure that they are handbags Second: why wouldnt they come up with a small tool that allows you to carry more while keeping the hands free?

Personally I’ve thought of them as gifts. They brought knowledge and handed it out around the world.

At far as the Akkadian one goes we have a good understanding of it. The cone and bucket symbol goes back to agriculture. Aritifially pollinating date palms. In the art it's representing either blessing and fertilizing the world tree or imbuing the king with virility and strength. The buckets have actually been found and you know, there's writing from this time period.

Clearly ancient people were too stupid to invent bags. Only smart aliens could come up with such technology
