| Keywords: Cerne Abbas Giant's phallus.jpg This is a scan from a 35mm transparency which I took in the mid 1970s at Cerne Abbas in Dorset England It shows a detail of the extremely virile chalk hill-figure called the Cerne Abbas Giant He has long been believed to be prehistoric but modern scholarship doubts this the earliest written references to him are 18th century and he is now thought to have been cut as a skit or lampoon of a local politician representing him as a naked Hercules This scan is in the Public Domain however I retain ownership and copyright of the original transparency and any higher-resolution scans derived from it If this image is used outside Wikipedia a photographer's credit Simon Garbutt would be much appreciated SiGarb 17 29 11 December 2005 UTC 2005-12-11 own assumed SiGarb Cerne Abbas giant | ||||
