Mudy, I've read that veils were also used by the Zoroastrians of the Persian Empire at one time, among royalty (or all their aristocracy) and that this denoted status. From your post it is clear that the Islamic-style scarf traces back to Sumeria. Might the Persian use (and style?) of the veil have been independent of the Sumerian invention?
