Dorchestra (Dorset), 30 May. (askanews) – Under an unusually hot sun in south-west England, volunteers are working on a hill in Dorset to restore the Cerne Abbas giant, a famous naked figure carved into the limestone rock. 55 meters high, this figure which would have been created in the Saxon era, probably between 700 and 1110 AD, is regularly subjected to maintenance to prevent it from being swallowed up by vegetation. The site, nicknamed “Rude Man” by locals because of its massive phallus, is restored approximately every ten years.
