Boy, you want to talk about observer bias, check this story out:

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.

5,00 years earlier at Lascaux was another depiction of an erect penis on what has been considered , by some , to be a dead person .
Any reason why you think the animals any be constellations ?
