Oldest rock carving of Americas

Oldest rock carving of Americas found in Brazil

SAO PAULO — Brazilian archeologists have discovered an ancient rock carving they say is at least 10,000 years old, making it the oldest human carving in the Americas.

The claim, detailed in an article in the online scientific journal PLoS ONE, opens the controversial debate over when and how humans populated the Americas.

The 30 centimeter (12 inches) carving is of a man with a “C” shaped head, three fingers per hand and an oversized phallus.

Why is it always an enlarged genital ?

Why is it always an enlarged genital ?

Perhaps the inconvenient truth is, it's an average sized phallus for that time.

If ya got it, flaunt it.

Ya never see tiny dicks in modern amateur porn so why should the old guys be any different.

Who decided that the phallus was oversized? I mean, the article was supposed to be scientific. Maybe a wimp eight incher was oversized to the writer. Maybe the writer doesn't think 'oversized' until it gets to 14 inches. We need facts here.

I knew an over-sized phallus would be in there somewhere. Probably ancient spam for penile enhancement.

but why the C-shaped head and three fingers ?.
Were we visited by aliens with C-shaped heads and three fingers on a hand?

He's not too impressive as a carving. Check out his junk here.

He's going to have to get a lot more impressive if he wants to hang with some of the other big-time male fertility figures:

This last one shows some of the offerings left in Thailand's Fertility Park. Men come here to make offerings; women come here to dream...

This whole "oversized phallus" thing is just plain moronic. The petroglyph in question could be damn near anything. Take a look for yourself, if you haven't already seen it.

This isn't science. This is looking at images in the clouds, or in Chicken McNuggets.

Where's the phallus?

Looks more like spalling than a carving.
