But like a lot of "phallic" monuments, sometimes there are open to interpretation and I think it's probably true that tourists do visit it and giggle, even if it might not be true they were intended as penis stones. Some do say that it represents the men and that ovary shaped statues represent women. So do I have to set up a blog entry somewhere first which I can quote before we can widen the perspective? Kipala ( talk) 22:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC) but adds his judgement "clearly, represent penises" - why? as Muslim grave markers often show headgear which represents headgear as a symbol of the believer - lots of Sunni teaching on the advisability of headgear for true Muslims. Even the Global post noted that the stelae are "topped with a hat". Now even if people love to see phallusses (to believe is to see?) this is no more than a guess - and the image I uploaded points to good Muslim grave markers crowned by kolah. Obviously some people in Iran feel that the place might be in danger if it is seriously noticed by morality authorities - which to me seems not unrealistic if the whole internet keeps on insisting this is a phallic place.

☠ Blofeld 21:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC) Well the is a bit older, but all of them just record some of the chatter of locals (who offer about 6 different sets of guesses - I have been there a few times) plus their own clue. Kipala ( talk) 20:38, 8 April 2013 (UTC) Mmm, the thing is most sources lead back to that Global Post article.♦ Dr. There is not 1 scholarly source but only lay blog entries (plus your impressive input on the phallic entry). ☠ Blofeld 19:05, 8 April 2013 (UTC) Dear, the whole entry is obviously some kind of OR. If you can't you can't change it because it would be OR.♦ Dr. If you have sources to prove it is not phallic and is headgear please cite them. The whole entry does not have 1 scholarly reference but relies completely on laymens' observations. The Turkmen People of Northern Iran are not the only Turk Muslims who adorne graves with headgear symbols in order to sow that this is the grave of a Muslim believer.
This is clearly an Islamic headgear ( a "kolah" = conic cap - see Kalpak) wound with a scarf (simple turban) as in the second image.įrom these several clear depictions of headgear on a number of stones at Khaled Nabii also the rest becomes obvious as showing kolah caps without depiction of an additional wrap. Some however, show structures at the top end which nobody ever will see on a really phallus (even assuming the circumciser was a carving artist. This, however, does not explain other structures, namely the rings around the shaft which many stelae have. Many of the cylindrical stones have a simple thick top which obviously led to seeing them as " glans penis". The description of these tombstones as phallic or fertility symbols is popular but obviously not correct.
