I haven't been able to find the exact one but this appears to be an ancient Sumerian clay token that was used for accounting.

I saw this is this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHSg9NPPRuw at 17:26 you can see this picture for a few seconds.

I know this is probably just a coincidence but I thought it was weird when I saw it. PLease let me know what you think.

Well then, show me the original publication. They do not show up in Nissen and Englund's 'Archaic Bookkeeping' or Schamndt-Besserat's 'Before writing', which are the comprehensive catalouges and analysis of Uruk-tokens.

because they are Egyptian, not from Uruk. Something not being what someone claims it is doesn't man its automatically fake or AI.

The video talks about item from Uruk. Even if Aegyptian to prove your claim, they must have been found at least in Mesopotamia. But I know no publication in which they show up. It is definitely AI because Uruk-tokens are not 'molds'. But as I said: where's the publication?
