Swedish Stone Age antler bone dildo?
It could just be a phallic carving tool or some other kind of device, but it certainly looks like a penis. Archaeologists excavating a Mesolithic site in Motala, Sweden, found the suggestively carved antler bone (he he… I said bone) in an area replete with artifacts dating from between 4,000 and 6,000 B.C.
It’s rare that organic material survives over the millennia, but this particular site has ideal conditions for the preservation of bone artifacts: layers of sediment and clay riverbed that keep them safe from the elements. Bone and even wood artifacts have been found at the Motala site.
The dildo-like object is about 4 inches (10.5 cm) long and 0.8 inches (2 cm) in diameter.
It’s not the first time that such a phallic object has been found from the ancient world. Another item strongly resembling a penis was unearthed in Germany in 2005. That one is even older – dating from 28,000 years ago – and made of stone.
Yet the recent discovery was enough to shock the scientists working at the dig, which is led by National Heritage Board archaeologist Fredrik Molin.
“Nobody here, and nobody that we heard of or talked with, had ever seen something like this in northern European or Scandinavian sites,” Gruber said.
Since the non-penis end of it comes to a curving point, that could well have been the business end, used for carving or chipping flint. The site has revealed many other Stone Age tools with pointy uses, like harpoon and spear tips, so it would make sense that our penile friend would perform a similar function.
I can’t believe there weren’t any comments on this story.
Yeah, you’d think the v1@gr@ spammers would jump all over this one.
Not much to say. That is a carved penis.
Or a very long mushroom.
What do you mean ” the non-penis end ” ??
It seem clear to me that that end is for use on virgins !!!! :-))
i think your right mr hansen,i have seen
australian aboringes with something the same and it was used in the old days to break in virgins.theirs are made from very old timber highly polished with the leaves of a sandpaper tree and they are very valuable.mac.darwin northern territory australia.
Yes because hymens are impassible without a long-handled curved, pointed implement. If you really need a tool for “breaking in” virgins, as you so charmingly put it, what’s wrong with the regular blunt dildo end?
Wow, Mr. Hansen doesn’t have any issues, nosirree.
come see my website
nice article, hah
i lol’ed.
Glad to hear it.
I have found 2 penis stone age artifacts too

Are there any news stories about your finds?
None.Last JULY 1. 2010, I SENT a letter to ABS CBN channel 2 and GMA 7 a local tv stations informing them about my found artifacts yet until now, they have NO RESPONSE.

Well you dont really need a sharp pointed end to get through a hymen.But you also have to think of this.It could just be a poorly crafted handle instead of a dildo as you guys think.The reason I say this because in the “old days”, virgins were seen as something in high value.Do to make a tool to break in virgins would go against that value.But yes I could see some trying to sat that its a dildo.But I note it done as just a poor crafted handle.
