You're an Oromo who saw my post showing sources about how your people did that and then went to a several-year-old tweet that made unfounded claims about us. This was what the Borana did during their expansion southward in Somali lands:
We know Oromos descend from a region that was obsessed with phallic symbols for thousands of years:

Some Oromos do this to this day to their victims and it stems from an traditional practice of theirs:
Kalacha is a phallic piece they have on their heads as a symbol of that old practice:
This is not derived from Somali culture:
Let's reiterate; penises on the forehead is not a Somali practice, and neither is the obsession with it:

The alternative history niche of the internet is filled with clowns.
Correct. And this guy is the king of clowns, his content is often poorly or not at all research and he often goes off on tangents about communism randomly. Bro made that shit up and people are willing to run with it cause he has history in his name.
Phallic statues are old Cushitic practices for fertility, it was practised in ancient times, and you can find similar structures in North Somalia, Afar, Saho and Oromos regions.You're an Oromo who saw my post showing sources about how your people did that and then went to a several-year-old tweet that made unfounded claims about us.

Which book did you get that passage from?

You can't find similar structures in Somaliland. All you have is three or some small phallic-shaped stones that are extremely uncommon, statistical anomalies. Nothing like the Konso megalithic site exists in Somaliland. This is not a material convergence or horizon. We buried people differently and you had stelae sometimes but only typical upright stone slabs, something derived from the Nubian cultures. And those phallic stones could be just related to something else in the cultures of the people there because it was very rare, and never found in any of the archeological sites in any of the newer research that checked sites from 2000 years ago to quite deep into the Medieval Islamic Era. The Konso folks went OD, something else entirely. Making penis pyramids almost.Phallic statues are old Cushitic practices for fertility, it was practised in ancient times, and you can find similar structures in North Somalia, Afar, Saho and Oromos regions.

Anyway, I was making a salient point since the guy claimed something attributable to the Borana when he was capping about how we were doing it in the 1950s...
