Re: Tutu Fela and other Ethiopian Phallic monoliths by AngieLake on Tuesday, 14 December 2021
(User Info | Send a Message)
This site is mentioned in an article on Ethiopia's phallic monoliths in this report:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-10304353/Archaeology-Ethiopias-phallic-20ft-tall-monoliths-created-1-920-years-ago.html

Quote:
"Ethiopia's Gedeo zone contains around 10,000 monoliths over 60 different sites
Experts think they had various purposes, with some serving as burial markers
Others are thought to mark the transition of generational power
Monoliths had only been dated at one site where they were erected in 1100 AD
Washington State University undertook a more detailed study of the stones
They found that some at Sakaro Sodo even date back to as early as 50 BC"

There are good photos, including Sakaro Sodo, and a very clear one of the Tutu Fela stones.
