Continuation of quite interesting analogies, images of ancient technical devices, facts of intersections of cultures or just coincidences.
The Tibetan headdress is a clear analogy to tefillin among the Jews.

- Sanxingdui is an archaeological culture of the Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age (2800-800 BC), discovered in the Chengdu region (China). Named after the town of Sanxingdui, Guanhan County, Sichuan Province (30 kilometers from Chengdu, the provincial capital). The creators of this culture possessed advanced technology for casting bronze, and also built irrigation facilities. The artifacts found are related to the culture that existed here in the II-I millennium BC. e. kingdom of Shu. Archaeological evidence indicates that the Sanxingdui settlement was built around 1300 BC. e.
- VR glasses (VR - virtual reality), (helmets) of virtual reality are devices in which a display is located directly in front of a person's eyes. However, they are used not only for watching movies. Illusionary reality goggles have found their use for virtual attractions and for gaming. This device shows a person a beautiful picture, creates sound effects and monitors the turn of the user's head, responding to the slightest movements of his body.
Analog from Tibet:
Longhorn Miao women:
There is such an opinion about the source of inspiration for crowns with horns - Milky Way = heavenly cow. The path of the birds. Curved over Geb Nut.
The journey of the sun along its arc gave birth to all these images.
All the peoples of the northern hemisphere see it in the same way:
In the last part I made my observation of analogies from antiquity with modern things. Below is my next observation, but only on the topic of cultures living on different continents.
Monks of Tibet in strange headdresses.
According to legend, once such hats were worn in Tibet by followers of the Bon religion. One of them, the future founder of the Tibetan school of Buddhism, Lume Tsultrim Sherab, dyed his Bon cap yellow, in memory of his study and practice with Buddhists. This event took place in the 10th century. After 400 years, another Buddhist teacher, Tsongkhapa, ordered the monks of his school to wear these hats in memory of Luma. Why were such hats worn in Ancient Tibet? Maybe they didn't think of deforming the skulls in imitation of the "long-headed" ones, but decided to do with hats?

With this, perhaps, such an analogy is connected … Everyone remembers the Iroquois Indians?
Someone also had the Iroquois in the form of a hat …
Who apparently had such hairstyles.
There is a certain resemblance to the mohawk hats of Tibetan monks. I think it made some sense. Not only symbolic, but also purely practical. What comes to mind are streams of energy, hair like antennas. But this is already esoteric. We will not dive further, although it may be necessary …
But Roman military hats are seen even closer to the Tibetan monks than the Iroquois are to them. Almost one model:
Another example:
Tibet.
Kokoshnik. Russian headdress.
The same mohawk shape, but only across the head.
There was such a thought: what if the mohawk is the location of the headdress for men, and the kokoshnik is for women? But just why is it needed? What did you symbolize earlier? Or was it practical?
Stone from Mexico. An alien with angel wings? In a long dress.
Angel in Christianity. Wings too, long dress.
Something in between was still depicted on ancient temples …
We look further:

Hairstyles are somewhat similar to black dreadlocks:
Perhaps only a coincidence, and perhaps the common styles of cultures that have somehow intersected earlier …
