The figure, dubbed 'The little horny man' because of the huge phallus, was discovered in Lapa do Santo, eastern central Brazil, and is thought to be between 9,000 and 12,000 years old. Photo: NEVES WA/ARAUJO AGM/BERNARDO DV

Rock art discovery could shed light on when New World was settled

"The figure, which we named 'the horny little man', is probably linked to some kind of fertility ritual"

Ancient porn.

Somebody’s really reaching on that one. I’d be more impressed with the duck bill, if I werre them. Not as titillating as a “huge phallus,” I guess.

I think it's stretching to think that this looks like a guy with a dork. It looks more like a variation on the squatting man figures (thousands found worldwide) that are representations of one particular type of plasma instabilities seen in a high current Z-pinch aurora that occurred some 20,000 years ago PDF available here.

These images were adapted from Peratt's research by another group whose interpretation of the phenomenon Peratt disavows. The image in the upper left is of a plasma phenomenon that would have been visible worldwide and reproduced at various declinations depending on latitude of observation. The other images are of rock art from around the world that are believed to depict the plasma phenomenon. You can see more examples of other plasma instabilities and their representation in similar rock art in the above-linked PDF by Peratt.

Neck too long to be man.

Three digits, no man I know, but a bird maybe.

Toro Muerto (Peru) Together with Elena Miklashevich of Kemerovo, Siberia, I paid a visit to the Toro Muerto petroglyph site, Peru, on 18th April 1997, in the company of a commercial tour-guide and also of Eloy Linares Malaga, who first brought the site to the world¹s attention over 40 years ago.
