Archaeologists Discover 11,000-Year-Old Statue Clutching His Genitals in Turkey
Archaeologists in Turkey have unearthed a nearly 11,000-year-old statue that may depict a giant man clutching his penis, along with a life-size wild boar statue. The two statues come from the neighboring sites of Gobekli Tepe and Karahan Tepe, which are among the oldest temple sites in the world.
The wild boar statue, which is carved from limestone, was found at Gobekli Tepe and dates to between 8700 B.C. and 8200 B.C. It measures 4.4 feet (1.4 meters) long and 2.3 feet (0.7 m) high, the German Archaeological Institute said in a statement. Archaeologists detected red, black and white pigments on its surface, indicating that the sculpture was once painted. Archaeologists unearthed the large sculpture of the manat the site of Karahan Tepe, about 22 miles (35 kilometers) from Gobekli Tepe. It depicts a 7.5-foot-tall (2.3 m) man, according to a translated statement from Turkey's ministry of culture and tourism. The person's ribs, spines and shoulders are particularly pronounced, and the person may actually be depicted as being dead, the statement said.
These discoveries, "represent the latest spectacular finds from these sites which are transforming our understanding of pre-agricultural communities," Benjamin Arbuckle, an anthropology professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who was not involved with the excavations, said in an email.
Researchers also found a small sculpture of a vulture nearby at Karahan Tepe. While archaeologists didn't say how old the newfound statues at, Karahan Tepe are, the site is around 11,000 years old and contains other sculptures and buildings.
The purpose of the recently found sculptures is unclear. "The Karahan Tepe finds strike me as the most interesting," Ted Banning, an anthropology professor at the University of Toronto who is not involved with the research, said in an email. "Any interpretation of the statue is conjectural at this point," Banning said but suggested it was likely that the person shown is dead. It may represent "an important ancestor associated with the building in which it was found."
The figure's pose may give a further clue about its purpose. "The fact that the figure is clutching its penis is also consistent with this interpretation by potentially symbolizing that this person was the progenitor of a social group, such as a lineage or clan, associated with the building," Banning said.
Banning thinks that structures at Karahan Tepe and Gobekli Tepe may have been used as houses rather than temples, "in which case it makes a lot of sense that each would have its own lineage ancestor," Banning said.
It's not surprising that the wild boar sculpture has pigments, he added. "I think it's plausible that much or even most of the sculpture at these sites was originally painted", Banning said, noting that paint doesn't preserve well in the archaeological record.

I don't remember who it was but thanks to the height difference post, I just really noticed how tiny Pelin Karahan is next to Meryem Uzerli (1,60m vs 1,73m). From memory, I would have guessed they were the same height and then episode 97 came around...
