Cerne Abbas Giant is a 180-foot-long male nude club made by Anglo-Saxons in Dorset, England. Although the origins and times of the monumental figures are still unclear, the earliest written records of the work date back to the late 17th century. The figure is believed to symbolize fertility, and the couple allegedly visited the monument after nightfall in hopes of getting pregnant.
While studying an upcoming book, author and historian Karen Heaney found that the Ministry of the Interior, the United Kingdom, was considered to cover the giant genitals about 90 years ago.
