Archaeologists in Germany have found what could be theoldestpornographic scene in the world.
They have unearthed what they believe to be the7,200-year-oldfigurines of a couple having sex, reports theGuardian.
The find, at an archaeological dig in Leipzig, shatters thebeliefthat sex was a taboo subject in the stone age era.
First, Harald Stauble of the Archaeological Institute ofSaxony,discovered the 8cm lower half of a man, which he namedAdonis.
One month later, Dr Stauble found what could be thematchingfemale figurine.
Dr Stable said: Adonis is bent forward and the female figureisbent forward even more.
Ther are two ways of looking at this. The first is that theyweredoing a ritual dance, but the other possibility is that theman andwoman wer copulating and that he was standing behindher.
The copulation option is far more likel, and would make thistheoldest representation ever of a pornographic scene.
德国考古学家发现了可能是世界上最古老的色情场面。
据《卫报》报道,他们出土了据信是7200年前的雕像,勾画出一对男女正在做爱。
该雕像是在莱比锡一个考古挖掘场里挖掘出来的,这一发现粉碎了性在石器时代是一种禁忌的观点。
萨克林考古学院的哈罗德·斯陶布莱教授首先发现了8厘米高的雕像的一部分,那是一个男人的下半身,斯陶布莱教授称它为阿多尼斯。一个月后,斯陶布莱教授又发现了与其匹配的女性雕像。
斯陶布莱说:阿多尼斯的(姿势)是向前弯腰,而女性雕像向前弯的幅度更大。
对这个姿势有两种看法,一种是他们正在为祭祀跳舞,另一种是他们正在做爱,男人站在女人的后面。而做爱的可能性更大,(如果这一看法属实),它将是世界上已出土的最古老的色情场面。(高飞)
