Actually, you're close, Omnirizon: It would have been the tribe *itself* carving the huge phallus (aka cock-n-balls) on their *own* god-idol, *because* of it's deep divine meaning :) The phallus remains not only a powerful symbol of physical potency, but one of the most powerful spiritual symbols, as well.

And, to add my 2c, it's my understanding that that particular chalk sculpture was likely carved by occupying Roman soldiers, to represent Herakleus/Hercules, who was commonly represented as shown.

I dont remember if THIS image does,
but many of the iconic images scatted by the map generator are supposed to be linked to terrains and possibly to an increase in the chance for certain types of magic sites IIRC

Current thought leans heavily towards a theory of being a 17th century creation. Hill carvings hundreds of feet high are pretty noteworthy, which makes the lack of any historical record of it prior to then hard to explain.

Ah, those wacky Cavaliers. It would be just like them to make a carving with a big wiener to cheese-off those uptight Puritans. Take that, Old Ironsides! :P

Re: funny pictures on my map
 

this dating puts the carving right in the early modern period and consequently just out of the historical periods that dominions typically works within. the entries i've read on this thing do seem to lean towards what you say though.

This would also be in the times of the Scientific Revolution and the Age of Reason. It seems very funny for something done in such an early history style medium and content to appear so late. It has a sort of irony to it that almost makes it seem "prankish".
