Mother Stonehenge
by Josie Glausiusz


Anthony Perks, an endocrinologist and professor of gynecology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, sees a symbolic meaning in Stonehenge that other researchers have overlooked: The 50-ton stones trace the shape of a human vulva, he says. Archaeologists have long puzzled over the inner arches of Stonehenge, which consist of paired, capped stones, one of which is rough and the other rubbed smooth. Perks's theory could explain this formation. "In the female, estrogens make the skin softer and smoother than in the male. It struck me that here's the reason the two are united by a lintel over the top: They're the mothers and fathers of the past," Perks says. He also found that the inner and outer circles of stones match the locations of the labia minora and labia majora, and an altar stone sits where the clitoris would be. Other authorities have thought Stonehenge was a temple for the worship of the sun or the moon. Perks sees no contradiction: "There was a concept in Neolithic times of a great goddess or earth mother. Stonehenge could represent the opening by which the earth mother gave birth to the plants and animals on which ancient people so depended."

I can somewhat see where this guy is coming from, but that's still one of the more bizarre theories I've ever heard. I thought it was pretty much accepted that Stonehenge was essentially a huge observatory.
