HUMAN PHALLUSES OF GREAT DIMENSIONS IN POST-PALEOLITHIC SCULPTURE

Fig. 22A1) Phallic post-paleolithic monolithic sculpture.
The colossus is down, so it is probable that, at the time of the photo, it was no longer in the cult.
Size: evident in the photograph.
Location: Uondo, Ethiopia.

Fig. 22A2) Phallic post-paleolithic monolithic sculptures.
There are two phallic sculptures in the whole round; we assume that the third colossus, consisting of a monolith simply rough-hewn, is the "symbol" of a phallus, perhaps preceding or perhaps posterior to the other two.
Size: evident in the photograph.
Location: Atjeh, Sumatra.
Dating: "Heliolytic" culture of Southeast Asia.

Fig. 22A3) Post-paleolithic monolithic sculptures of phalluses.
These colossuses have solar emblems engraved, therefore they have added a subject of the worship, and probably they are more recent than the other phallic monoliths Figg. 22A1 and 22A2.
Size: evident in the photograph.
Location: Soddu, in eastern Sidama area.
