This sort of decrepitude can only be the result of licentious cave paintings and other debaucheries of popular culture. I blame Grand Theft Wheel:Lascaux myself.

Just wait till they unearth the CroMagnon Mary Does Mammoth Town tapes!

heh makes you wonder what those cave paintings and drawings would depict. in one scene they are engrossed in some ritual with the prehistoric dildo, in another they are lighting fires with said dildo banging it on rocks.

Am I the only one that thinks they're stretching pretty far by calling that phallic?

fildien

you don't think it is?

They don't call Sanchek "pretzel penis" for nothing, Fil!

Sanchek

Maybe it is, maybe it's not. But, by that same logic someone could find my Sonicare toothbrush 5,000 years from now and say it was actually a primitive vibrating dildo.

Malse

They could find it tomorrow and think the same thing, sicko.

fildien

well I tend to think that phallas stone is closer in appearance than a sonicare toothbrush....

I mean not that it couldn't be used as a toothbrush if someone really wanted to use it that way.

I can hear it now ... "Come here honey and let me brush your teeth. No really this is a sonicare!"

...that was also used for brushing teeth! And they'd probably be right . You folks with the 'outies' seem to think you own the market on wierd (pre)pubertal experimentation, but if only our parents had known what those innocuous-looking Snoopy toothbrushes and Water Piks were getting pressed into service for from time to time, they'd have sent us all off to therapy (since it was the 1970s, today I imagine they'd either try to ban or slap a huge parental advisory on them )

For the record, I did not personally learn the facts of life via my Snoopy toothbrush, but have had multiple female friends attest to its utility and that it was quite convenient that the detachable toothbrushes were color coded...

As far as the phallus they found, it looks pretty obvious to me as well, but it does make one wonder what other sorts of religious/ritual or everyday objects were also found in the area that might provide some clues as to the context in which it was used.
