Now, generally, I do believe that if you cut a person's head off, he will die, and rigor mortis will set in, producing an erect penis.
Another option is that a person has died, rigor mortis has set in, and his head has been cut off before the rest of his body is excarnated by the bird shown to the left.
I generally tend to think that the animals shown on the plinths at Gobekli Tepe are astronomical constellations.
