Purpose of pointed hats

I did a bit of googling on the origin of the iconic witches hat and I think pointed hats came all the way back and plausibly way before the Etruscan civilization. I couldn't find out where the brim comes from. It may have been added a millennia later to suit women more, but that's speculation. It seems a lot of people on the web don't know what they are talking about. There are coins that depict the Goddess Diana wearing a pointed hat and they are associated with rituals so I don't think the medieval people invented them. What do you think the purpose of pointed hats are?
