Pornography in Clay
DER SPIEGEL ^ | 14/2005 - April 4, 2005 | Matthias Schulz

Posted on 04/15/2005 8:42:19 PM PDT by tbird5

New pornographic figurines from the Stone Age have been discovered in Germany. But researchers can't agree on what the 7,000-year-old sculptures mean. Were our ancestors uninhibited sex fiends, or was reproduction strictly controlled to improve mobility? An increasing number of finds seem to indicate the Stone Age was an orgy of sexual imagination.

The project itself was far from extraordinary. Workers near the Eastern German city of Leipzig were digging a ditch for a new gas line. Hum drum. But what they discovered was far from routine. A backhoe unearthed a 7,200-year-old, Stone Age garbage pit -- and it was filled with refuse from some of the first farmers on the European continent. Moreover, upon rushing to the site, archeologists discovered an 8.2 centimeter (3.2 inches) clay torso buried underground. The legs, abdomen and head were missing, but, according to the lucky archeologists, the figure still had its most important features intact: a "well-shaped behind" and a "short, but impressive" penis.

Since its discovery on August 19, 2003, the partially intact "Adonis from Chernitz" -- as it has been dubbed -- has been creating quite a stir at the state office of archeology in Dresden. Sculptors have carefully recreated the curve of the figure's buttocks and other anatomical minutiae are also clearly visible. Archeologist Harald Staeuble is amazed at the detail.

He's not the only one. The find is clearly a remarkable one -- and is the oldest clay figure ever found anywhere in the world.

Nowadays when Brooks performs the 2000 Year Old Man he seems more authentic.

Well, in the article, apparently there was another clay fragment that was a piece of a counterpart female figurine.

Scientists are amazed Stone Agers had lots of sex??? How do they think Europe went from mostly virgin forest to one of he most densely populated places on Earth?

I've seen reproductions of these little fertility goddesses and they come accompanied by a sheet of explanation about their use in ancient fertility cult worship. Stone age women would hold these little totems as symbols of the Mother Goddess and then pray to become pregnant themselves. The little statues would become good luck symbols for women trying to conceive. The focus was on the power of the Earth Mother to give them conception.

"short, but impressive" penis.

They can always air brush it and put it on the cover of the Rolling Stone. It worked for Al.

So, if you wanted to get lucky, you looked for the babes with the statues?

I'd imagine ALL the babes had statues. Because the name of the game was fertility, that increased the female's value to the tribe.

Fat thighs and fat boobs were all the rage among stone age women. These were symbols of health, of good body fat, of fertility.

The more graphic pics could be anything from rape to consensual.

I notice the man is well endowed and the women are slim.

The men are dark skinned and the two women light skinned in the pics shown.

One can only speculate what the pics mean.

Ancient Player Parties? Who knows.

One thing for sure we have not evolved sexually to multiple sex partners.

Nor have we in evolved in any other sin. Cain and Abel.

Yeah but you notice the woman having sex are slim!

The fat statues are more like grammas who are past the hottie age.

TROGLODYTE (CAVE MAN)
Jimmy Castor Bunch

What we're gonna do right here is go back,
way back, back into time.
When the only people that existed were troglodytes...
cave men... cave women... Neanderthal... troglodytes.
Let's take the average cave man, at home,
listening to his stereo.

Sometimes he'd get up, try to do his thing.
He'd begin to move, something like this: dance... dance
When he got tired of dancing alone, he'd look in the mirror.
He'd say:
"Gotta find a woman
gotta find a woman
gotta find a woman
gotta find a woman".

He'd go down to the lake where all the girls
would be swimming or washing clothes or something.
He'd look around and just reach in and grab one.
"Come here...come here".

He'd grab her by the hair.
You can't do that today, fellas, cause it might come off.
You'd have a piece of hair in your hand
and she'd be swimming away from you (huh-huh).

This one woman just layed there, wet and frightened.
He said: "Move...move".

She got up.
She was a big woman,
A BIG woman.
Her name was BERTHA,
BERTHA BUTT,
One of the Butt sisters.

He didn't care.
He looked up at her and said:
"Sock it to me
sock it to me
sock it to me
sock it to me
sock it to me
sock it to me
sock it to me
sock it to me!".

She looked down on him.
She was ready to crush him, but she began to like him.
She said: "I'll sock it to ya, Daddy".
He said: "Wha?".
She said: "I'll sock it to ya, Daddy".

You know what he said?
He started it all way back then.
I wouldn't lie to you.
When she said: "I'll sock it to ya, Daddy"

He said "Right on! Right on!
Hotpants! Hotpants!
Bluh... Bluh... Bluh".


THE BERTHA BUTT BOOGIE (part 1)
Jimmy Castor Bunch

The party was jumpin' when Bertha got off o' her stump,
The whistles were blowin' and everybody did the "Bump".
But all the time Bertha had been workin' on her goodie,
Now folks call it "The Bertha Butt Boogie".

When Bertha Butt did her thing,
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie".
No question.

When Bertha got movin' her hips were hummin' in the wind,
The ground started shakin' - no grass grew where she'd been!
The music was poppin', the crowd had formed a ring,
Her sisters yelled, "Boogie, Bertha, do your thing!".

Uh, for your information, Bertha had three sisters,
Betty Butt, Bella Butt and Bathsheba Butt.

When Bertha Butt did her thing,
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie".
I said no question.

Hey, Leroy, get away from that woman!
The boy'll never learn!
Uh-oh, here comes the Troglodyte!
Troglodyte: "Come here, sock it to me!"

Bertha stood back and yelled, "Betty, Bella, Bathsheba!"
And the Butt Sisters backed her up when she yelled, "I need ya!".
The Troglodyte, Leroy, Luther and the Butt Sisters all knew
That "The Bertha Butt Boogie" was now the thing to do.

When Bertha Butt did her thing,
She started "The Bertha Butt Boogie".
No question.

Bertha: "I'll sock it ya, daddy!"
Troglodyte: "Me like, me like! Come here, woman, woman!"
Leroy: "Yo' mama, I'm calling you, man!"
Troglodyte: "Yeah - the Boogie!"

both figures were originally just under 30 centimeters (11.7 inches) tall.

Like a Barbie doll?

"Ethnic groups in Africa were known to have copulated in corn fields to encourage the crops to grow"...

Then if the corn crop was poor they were not disappointed.

The article also mentions they had condoms dipped in milk. Now what would be the purpose of that? They hadn't any knowledge of sperm?
