What are some archaeological findings that evoke laughter and amusement?

I’ll offer you an example, even though I’ve shared similar “cultural” content in the past which was consistently removed. It seems that on Quora some people are so prudish that they can’t approach certain news with the right sense of light-heartedness.

In 2005, in the Hohle Fels cave near Ulm, Germany, a siltstone phallus dated to about 28,000 years ago was discovered. Measuring 20 cm in length and 3 cm in diameter, it represents the oldest known phallic depiction.

I hope this discovery brings a smile to those who read about it, just as it did for me.
