One may conjecture whether the groove was carved to deliberately create a phallic form or whether it was for some other, more prosaic, purpose. |
| Posted Comments: AngieLake (2005-01-22) | Maybe the top part once had a face? | enkidu41 (2005-01-22) | Interesting suggestion. Not sure that faces on menhirs is a common feature to be found in Jordan but if the Sardinian statue menhirs are anything to go by a face would also have been accompanied by other anatomical features, particularly the shoulders. They are absent here although this only reduces the possibility of a face, not rule it out. | thecaptain (2005-01-23) | Dont know that I should say this, Oh go on then.... Would that be a one eyed face ? | motist (2006-06-05) | the locattion is :close to Al-Mureghat/Zerka Ma'in
