Archaeologists have unearthed an ancient phallus believed to be one of the earliest examples of its kind in the world.

The 20cm-long, 3cm-wide stone object, which is dated to be about 28,000 years old, was buried in the famous Hohle Fels Cave near Ulm in the Swabian Jura.

[...]

Its life size suggests it may well have been used as a sex aid by its Ice Age makers, scientists report.

"In addition to being a symbolic representation of male genitalia, it was also at times used for knapping flints," explained Professor Nicholas Conard, from the department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology, at Tübingen University.

"There are some areas where it has some very typical scars from that," he told the BBC News website.

Researchers believe the object's distinctive form and etched rings around one end mean there can be little doubt as to its symbolic nature.

"It's highly polished; it's clearly recognisable," said Professor Conard.




The region where it was found has produced a series of important archaeological finds, such as The Venus of Willendorf:

Current evidence indicates that the Swabian Jura of southwestern Germany was one of the central regions of cultural innovations after the arrival of modern humans in Europe some 40,000 years ago.


These innovations continue into the present day...

sounds like they're jumping a bit to conclusions when they say it was probably used as a sex toy simply because it's "lifesized"
so the only way to make a phallic symbol that doesn't immediately get's labeled as a sex toy is to make it either teeny tiny or at least 6 ft long?

The article leaves out the fact that it was also found in an Ice Aged bed-side table, which greatly supports their assertion.

Man, I don't know what it means to knapp flint... but it doesn't sound like something I want to do with my member.

Girl: Erik, the bridge is going to collapse on us if we don't knapp up some flint right now! Surely we must have SOME instrument that could do the job...

There are Greek plays where they talk about what towns make the best dildos. But those are just 2500 years old.
