The Venus of Mierlo

[Abramelin]

The Venus of Mierlo is the nickname of a prehistoric engraving on stone of a young woman which was found at Geldrop-Mierlo in the North Brabant province of Netherlands.

The name is, of course, purely modern, as the engraving predated by many millennia the Italian religion and the goddess Venus. There is no way of knowing what was the woman's name or those who made the engraving, and its exact cultural and religious significance is a matter of conjecture.

The Mystery of the Venus of Mierlo

The Venus van Mierlo, also known as the Little Dancer of Geldrop, is the oldest human representation in Brabant history. This cycle route takes you past various places that have something to tell about Venus.

In fact, it is even said to be the oldest expression of art ever found in the Netherlands. The Venus is a woman, drawn with sharp lines or rather, scratched in a stone. The stone was excavated in 1961 and after investigation, it turned out to have been left at that spot some thirteen thousand years ago. And that is officially just in Geldrop, hence the double name.

My question:

To be honest I am getting tired of archaeologists calling ancient depictions of naked women 'goddesses', or 'Mother Earth'.

Men will be men, and Ì think these ancient men loved women as much as we men do now. And when they had nothing else on their hands and getting bored, they started carving 'pretty pictures'.

It's clear these men loved big breasted, voluminous women back then.

But some, like the ancient Dutch, loved the more gracile ones.

And that more than 10,000 years ago.

I am interested in your opinions.

Men loved big breasted voluminous women because they were considered to be stronger and more capable of have children and taking care of their needs. It’s funny how much things have changed in the last few hundred years.

That's nothing but an assumption cooked up by nerds.

I am not certain it is at all.

But I would like to hear your take on it then?

You know, I already posted what I think of the idea that these depictions of naked women representing goddesses were cooked up by nerds, or better, guys who had no experience with, or interest in women.

That really has nothing to do with my comment, my comment had nothing to do with fertility goddess at all. It was based upon the belief that a buck some women was better suited in producing strong child than a frail woman would be.

I thought she was somewhat slimmer than some I have seen.

This was obviously a representation of a living woman. I think a few of the "Venus" figurines were also. Hunter-gatherers didn't have "goddesses".

NA Eastern Archaic pestles were sometimes carved into the shape of penises, so da wimmens were just as horny.
