Antler Bone Artifact Found - Innuendos Soon Follow


This country has come a long way from its Puritanical roots and sexuality is no longer as suppressed as it once was. Of course compared to say the ancient Greeks and Romans we are still closeted prudes. So progress is still being made. However perusing the interwebs recently I came across an article about a discovery in a Mesolithic site in Motala, Sweden that uncovered an interesting artifact. Go ahead and take a look at it below…




And here is another angle.




It is a five or six inch phallic artifact made of antler-bone (10 inches if you hear it from the male discovers). What do YOU think it was used for? We can put on our science caps and maybe venture a guess that it was some sort of stone flaking tool; a tool to make other tools. Perhaps it was part of a mortar and pestle set used to mash and grind herbs, nuts and berries. Maybe it was a ritual object used in fertility cults. But hmm…take a look at it again…

There is a saying that often the simplest answer is the right answer. Though we may never conclusively know I like to think that our ancestors, who at this point in time were biologically identical to us, were just as prone to having a good time as we are. Of course their need for lube was probably much greater.
