    ObjectiveThe stone monuments named as "Orhon" inscriptions located in Middle Asia are considered the first written Turkish findings. Our aim was to discuss the contents and physical appearance of the monuments according to the andrological perspective.MethodsThese inscriptions were composed of three stone monuments built in the years 720-735 AD, in honor of three Khagans (Ruling leaders).ResultsAlthough the theme of the writings emphasizes the male-dominant ruling style of the antique Middle Asian migratory tribes, we claim that the most interesting point was that the phallus had a secret role in the perspective of the stone monuments.ConclusionThe trilogy of power, state authority, and erection was monumentalized in 8th-century inscriptions. The signs of Andrology should be sought in history, archeology, and art to expand the esthetic horizon of modern medical sciences.
