<p>tombstones like sexual organs Or Social status of individuals Or Astronomical markers And Finally A secret that is still sealed.<br>In the stunning green hills of Northern Iran, one cemetery is covered in headstones distinctly resembling male and female genitalia. Some are cylindrical and capped, while others are paired and rounded.<br>some experts suggest that the cemetery was created by phallus worshiping peoples from Central Asia and India, although conclusive proof of this does not exist.<br>According to some, the likeness of these gravestones to the penis is incorrect, and its appearance is that its hat at the top, and the men&#8217;s Waist scarf at the bottom, and the gravestones with two rings at the bottom, indicate flanking shawl. It has been a period that has been used in addition to the scarf that men have worn around their waist. Also, the tombstones are made taller or shorter depending on the person&#8217;s position, the women&#8217;s tombs are feminine and bra-shaped, with a flat surface and all female graves are facing north. The cemetery is said to belong to the Paleolithic Age.<br>From an astronomical point of view, the tombs facing north or references to objects in the Milky Way should not be overlooked.<br>There is little publicity over the cemetery and most scholars have strayed from studying the historic area,<br>And, unfortunately, it is rapidly decaying<br>The place seems to be hidden but absolutely worthy to visit!</p>
