When taking a deer as a trophy, hunters don't cut off its schlong and display it on their wall. They take its horns, partly because these don't rot and partly because they symbolise the beast's dominance over its peers (through both violence and sexual prowess)

I used to do a presentation at the School I last taught at. It was called It's true! I read it on the internet!"  I first designed it for the kids,  but after observing the teachers during the kid's session, I tuned it up some and we used it for an "In Service".
 
Not all of my information comes from the I net.  However, being selective as to what sites you rely on, and backing up your info via sites like Jstor.  [There are cheaper alternatives] can keep you out of trouble.
Fringie sites however, do have some merit. [note, I said merit, not credibility]  However ridiculous their explanations might sometimes be, they can often give you clues to the actuality.
 
The Skull has been studied for years.  It's real, not having an explanation for something doesn't make it a Hoax.  That skull is from Germany, I think.  Don't hold me to that, but somewhere in that gen. region.  I'm trying to find the artist's sketches of the skulls from Pa.  Similarity is striking.

With all due respect, just being in a museum doesn't make it real. But, I see your point.
The shapes and forms the human body has and can make always amazed me into
jaw dropping wonderment.  I'm just skeptical as with the internet things cannot always

As discussed in the other thread, i still find this report hard to believe. It's more likely horns were used because similar animals, like goats or oxen were physically strong and had a high sex-drive. Similar displays of virility were used in the medieval period when kings like Henry VIII wore oversized codpieces

Horns were once a symbol of Kingship, or power.  Alexander was depicted having horns on several coins minted during his reign.  Michaelangelo depicted moses with horns.  These ideas had to come from somewhere.

Here's one of the few horned helmets still in existence, found at Waterloo Bridge and dating to around 150 BC. During the Dark Ages helmets of this type may well have been handed down as ceremonial headgear for chieftains chanelling the power of the Horned God, but lost or destroyed when the tribe was defeated and absorbed by a more powerful rival

Could ancient Germanic helmets have influenced the design of the WW1 Stahlhelm? These had horns which served as ventilation tubes and a mount for a protective face shield

I know, maybe one day I will get a special on that Cable TV channel either before or after "Real Sex?"

Perhaps we should become friends before I become a real star?

If Ringo could do it, why not me?
