The Venus of Willendorf

By Crusader1307

Instantly ''recognizable'' – The ''Venus of Willendorf'' is an example of Ancient Humanity and it's belief in Deities as they are related to organized religious practices. The limestone carving is dated to 33,000 years BC (Paleolithic), and depicts a ''Female Goddess'' (as would be depicted much later in History). ''She'' was located by a worker in 1908 during excavation near Willendorf, Austria. Many Scientists have attempted to explain Her ''bizarre'' look (to some). While others state She is a ''large'' female representation, this is identified as pregnancy (as evidenced by Her large Breasts and exposed intimate areas. Perhaps ''worshiped'' as a ''Fertility Fetish'', The Venus of Willnedorf is one of History's most classic examples of early primitive worship.
