No. Next!
The Lion Man found in the Stadel cave. The Paleolithic figurine, carved out of mammoth ivory, was found on the eve of World War I. Archeologists have been puzzling over its meaning ever since. Indeed, they haven't even decided on its gender. But new pieces found recently may help researchers solve the mystery. [thomas-stephan.com]

lol.
They can’t say if its male or female....
But yet they will conjecture as much as they can to get more funding.

Either way, ‘it’ would have the legal right to go into either Connecticut public bathroom.

So we have lion men in Europe, dog men in Egypt and of course the sphinx. Interesting. Those ancients had quite the imagination, I guess.
To: SunkenCiv
Male? Female? So what? Why must people be so judgemental? Isn’t it up to the statue to determine its own sexuality?

Ancients with a sense of humor would have made a Potato Man.

The statue has been made into an "icon of the women's movement," Do they have their own pagan ritual for worshiping this idol?
