Cavemen fire was a causal place

Most Ancient sex toy found last week the Swedish archaeologists. Our ancestors used it in the Stone Age, scientists say. It was at falloimmitatora and other features, writes Live Science.

A subject that is very similar to the penis, carved from the horns. Its length - 10,5 cm and a diameter equal to two centimeters. It was found in Mesolithic layers in the Swedish town of Motala, which is rich with ancient artifacts to 6 - 4 thousand years BC.

The unique climate of this region can be maintained excellent products from the bone. "Usually, when we study a layer of the early Mesolithic period, we will never find the material from the bone. But this layer, which we now digs along the shoreline has been preserved very well because it is in the bottom sediments of the river," - said archaeologist Göran Gruber.

Ancient sex toys are not the first time. In Germany in 2005, has also been found very similar to the penis thing. His age, scientists estimated in 28 thousand years. However, the recent discovery shocked the Swedish archaeologists. "Nobody had heard of this and have not seen anything like that in northern Europe and Scandinavia," - said Gruber.

Experts have not yet been able to figure out dildo used only by men or women or both sexes. Scientists have also speculated that using it caught fire. The stone phallus has traces, clearly indicating that it was hit by pieces of silicon. However, scientists note that the size, shape and polished surface leaves no doubt as to its application.

Add, sexual symbolism is not uncommon for ancient artifacts, but most archaeologists find figurines of women, such as symbols of mother goddess of fertility. "I think it might be the other side of the ancient customs," - says Gruber.
