  An Egyptian stele or obelisk is a funery monument, 
  not a phallic symbol...

Bhairitu:
 Not phallic?

That's right, the Egyptian Obelisks were not built as
a means to increase agricultural fertility. Sometimes
an obelisk is just an obelisk.

The obelisk symbolized the sun god Ra, and during the 
brief religious reformation of Akhenaten was said to be 
a petrified ray of the Aten, the sundisk. It was also 
thought that the god existed within the structure...

 ancient Egypt with the sun obelisks which were  
 of course phallic symbols because the king had 
 to have a bigger dick than everyone else...

An Egyptian stele or obelisk is a funery monument, 
not a phallic symbol. Ancient Egyptian obelisks 
are designed after the petrified rays of the sun 
and were associated with the sun god Ra. They are 
not phallic, in Egypt or in Rome. 

Obviously the talk show host is just making this 
up to make you think he knows something about the 
Egyptian religion. You probably thought the obelisk
was a tantric symbol, right?

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
