>my professor says obelisks are meant to be phalic symbols

That he deems them to be reminiscent of cocks.

Egyptians loved phallic symbols, so she's probably right.

He meant nothing, he stated the obvious. Who cares.

But isn't tall stuff just tall for the sake of it?

The higher you build something, the more unstable it is. Therefore, couldn't it be said that they were more like engineering marvels?

It means she's a moron. The Egyptians loved cocks, but when they wanted to portray a cock, there was no doubting that it was a cock. Obelisks aren't meant to be cocks, they're more like billboards designed for maximum writable surface area.

She's probably an armchair psychologist that thinks that every slightly oblong shape is phallic, but in this particular case she would be correct, although not for the reasons she supposes.

>Geb is the husband of Nut, the sky or visible daytime and nightly firmament, the son of the earlier primordial elements Tefnut (moisture) and Shu ('emptiness'), and the father to the four lesser gods of the system – Osiris, Seth, Isis and Nephthys. In this context, Geb was believed to have originally been engaged with Nut and had to be separated from her by Shu, god of the air.[3] Consequently, in mythological depictions, Geb was shown as a man reclining, sometimes with his phallus still pointed towards Nut.

What other way is there to display skill in architecture? Make a symbol for a vagina? Like just dig a hole?

>>2729292
Yeah, but that's like the entire concept of possessing the phallus.
