Topic: Worlds oldest porn found in Germany Posted: 04-Apr-2005 at 04:46 |
Archaeologist finds 'oldest porn statue'
Krysia Diver in Stuttgart Monday April 4, 2005 The Guardian
Stone-age figurines depicting what could be the oldest pornographic scene in the world have been unearthed in Germany.
Archaeologists have discovered what they believe to be the 7,200-year-old remnants of a man having intercourse with a woman.
The extraordinary find, at an archaeological dig in Saxony, shatters the belief that sex was a taboo subject in that era.
Until now, the oldest representations of sexual scenes were frescos from about 2,000 years ago.
Harald Stuble of the
Archaeological Institute of Saxony, based in Dresden, discovered the
8cm lower half of a man, which has been named Adonis von Zschernitz.
"A unique find," reported Spiegel magazine. "This is the oldest male clay figurine ever discovered in the world."
But
the most amazing find came at the dig in Leipzig one month later, when
Dr Stuble found what could be the matching female figurine.
Dr
Stuble, who is due to publish a paper on his findings this year, said:
"After finding Adonis, we got the team to sieve every speck of soil for
a whole month. We were well rewarded because we then found fragments of
a female figurine of the same size."
He added: "Adonis is bent forward and the female figure is bent forward even more.
"There
are two ways of looking at this. The first is that they were doing a
ritual dance, but the other possibility is that the man and woman were
copulating and that he was standing behind her. The copulation option
is far more likely, and would make this the oldest representation ever
of a pornographic scene."
Until
now, there have been discoveries of clay models of women with large
breasts and bottoms, which have always been interpreted as connected
with fertility. But Adonis was the first figurine that clearly depicted
male sexual organs.
"This
is such an interesting discovery," said Dr Struble, "as these
figurines are not stylistic, but realistic. They open up a gateway for
historians and anthropologists to discuss whether sex really was a
taboo subject in the stone age." |
But really, is anyone suprised

Hmm, those are actualy skeletons though.
But yeah, i thought 2000 years was a bit recent, as i'm sure i've seen
pics of naughty Greek vases that are older, and no doubt there are
other older examples.

Knowing the sexual preferences of my fellow country men and women, it wouldn't surprise me if they find a Mammouth tail whip and a flint studded leather mask next.
It opens up a whole new dimension for the German porn market. They've tried everything else........

My favourite part:
Ein Fund von 1897 aus Most in Bhmen ist in der Datierung zweifelhaft und in seiner einfachen "Ausstattung" nur als "kmmerlich" zu bezeichnen, zumal der "Adonis von Zschernitz" im Originalzustand gut 25 cm gro gewesen sein muss.
A finding from 1897 in Most in Bohemia is of questionable date and his low-end "equipment" can only be called "wimpy", especially since the original "Adonis of Zschernitz" must have been around around 25 cm tall.
