Archaeologists stunned after unearthing 3,000-year-old penis statue used by cult
The girthy penis rock is 21 inches tall
A giant penis statue — measuring an impressive 21 inches — has been unearthed by archaeologists in Sweden.
The girthy phallus might even have been used in blood sacrifices to a pagan fertility god, researchers said.
Dated to be from the Bronze Age, between 1800 and 500 BC, the penis rock was discovered during an excavation near Gothenburg.
It has been linked to a fertility cult, having been found alongside a lot of animal bones which hints that the area was used for sacrifice.
The lack of any human bones ruled out the theory that the phallus was a unique headstone.
