Israel: 100 Ancient [Phallic] Sites Discovered

| OMG, they do look like d-cks, I mean penises! |
Some 100 prehistoric "cult sites," complete with penis stone structures and artifacts with vulva shapes [yoni] cut into them, have been discovered in the Eilat Mountains, an extremely arid area of the Negev Desert in [illegally occupied] Israel.
At the sites, which date back around 8,000 years, archaeologists discovered a variety of stone structures and artifacts, including stone circles that measure 1.5 to 2.5 meters across (roughly 5 to 8 feet) with penis-shaped installations pointing toward them.
Other findings there include standing stones that reach up to 2.6 feet (80 centimeters) high, stone bowls, and stone carvings that have a humanlike shape.

These sites are often clustered together. In one area the team discovered 44 [sacred] sites in a spot encompassing only 0.8 square kilometers (less than 200 acres)."Taking in[to] consideration the topography, environmental conditions, and the small number of known Neolithic habitations in the general southern Negev, the density of [such] sites in this region is phenomenal," the team wrote in an article published recently in the Journal of the Israel Prehistoric Society.
These sites were used for ritual activities of some form. Archeologists know little about what activities went on at these sites although [biblical-style] animal sacrifice, as seen from bones found there, seems to be one of them.
Fertility and death

For instance, in addition to the penis-shaped structures, researchers also found that some of the stones have vulva-shaped holes cut into them. The circles that the penis-shaped structures point to also seem to represent females.
"The circle is a female symbol, and the elongated cell is a male one (phallus)," said Uzi Avner, a researcher with the Arava-Dead Sea Science Center and the Arava Institute, in an email to Live Science.
Death is "signified by the burial of stone objects and by setting them upside down," the team members wrote in their paper. In one case, a humanlike stone carving was found buried "with only the very top visible on the surface."

The two symbols identified so far, fertility and death, go hand in hand in many cultures. "Combinations of both are actually well-known in anthropological studies as relating to ancestral cult," the archaeologists wrote.

Around 8,000 years ago it would have been somewhat wetter. "The climate of the 7th-6th millennia B.C. was a little moister than that of the present, 40%-20% more rainfall, but the desert was a desert," said Avner in the email.
The [sacred] sites tended to be built in relatively flat sections of the mountains. "Their position on topographic 'shoulders' or comparatively flat locations probably enabled several dozens of people to gather around them, for example, an extended family," the archaeologists wrote.

While the researchers discovered many [sacred] sites, they found few domestic ones. "In contrast to the density of [sacred] sites, only two small habitations and one small campsite were found on the ridge," they wrote, noting that these three sites were all associated with the [sacred] sites.
More sacred sites to discover

"The number of [sacred] sites recorded to date suggests that many more still await discovery," the researchers wrote." Many more may be found on the mountains of the Negev, southern Jordan and Sinai."
One "may think now of a vast phenomenon, of hundreds of mountain [sacred] sites in the desert." More from Live Science
The same "worship" in Thailand and Japan
Amber Larson and Dhr. Seven, Wisdom Quarterly (COMMENTARY)
(RT) Russia's RuptlyTV in Thailand: Want babies? Pray to the penis (phallus) totems.
Buddhist countries greatly influenced by the ancient Indus Valley Civilization and Indian "Hindu" (a catchall term for all the practices once prevalent in and around the Indus river) traditions, also worship phallic and vulvic symbols like the lingam and yoni.
This may also have something to do with their indigenous pre-Buddhist (shamanic, pagan, earth-based) traditions. There was and still is "nature spirit" worship. The woodland "spirits" are earthbound-devas ("fairies," elementals) in Thailand (called nats in fellow Theravada Buddhist countries in Southeast Asia, Burma, Cambodia, and Laos) and the kami of Shintoism in Japan.

Hundreds "worshipped" the phallus at the Penis Festival, also known as the Honen Matsuri, or Harvest Festival, in Tagata (a Shinto not Buddhist) Shrine in Komaki. It is a fertility festival, which is believed to increase the fertility of both men and women who attend, while also boosting the health of mothers and babies. Many souvenirs in the shape of penis are available to visitors, including penis-shaped lollipops and ice-cream sticks.

Why would Americans watch Al Jazeera English TV? As Jimmy Dore explains, "CNN only shows our bombs being launched, but you have to go to Al Jazeera to see them landing." The biased U.S. mainstream media -- in the service of the U.S. military-industrial complex -- only wants war propaganda, not balanced viewing or multiple sides of any story. Our pro-Israel bias is legion. Fundamentalist Christians and Republicans in D.C. go to extremes to promote murder and imperialism in "State of Israel" (occupied Palestine), and much of Europe and English speaking countries, themselves created by violent and racist imperialism, go along as well. But they're not alone. Many Democrats bend over backwards to please special interests and cash-rich lobbyists leaving little to no room for an actual democracy in this republic. The CIA, the UK, and other powerful entities want to ship Jews to the Middle East to serve Western interests.

| Phallic Shiva lingam (Hinduism.about.com) |
Phallus, Penis, Linga: What is behind the God Shiva being represented as a linga? The popular belief is that the Shiva linga or lingam represents the phallus, the emblem of the generative power in nature. But according to Swami Sivananda, this is not only a serious mistake, but also a grave blunder. In Sanskrit, linga means a "mark" or a symbol, which points to an inference. Thus, the Shiva linga is a symbol of Lord Shiva -- a mark [or form] that reminds us of the Omnipotent Lord, which is formless. A Shiva linga speaks to the devotee in the unmistakable language of silence, and it is only the outward symbol of the formless being... More
