Ancient man used to live in caves and take shelter from the vagaries of nature under huge stones/monoliths which seemed to exist for generations as they were more resistant to the forces of nature than man was. Man started to worship them as they afforded shelter and served as a continuity between generations. They became a symbol of immortality to mortal man. Later when man took to agriculture and had more free time on his hands he started to carve these stones into shapes which he saw around him. He formed phallic stones and worshipped them to stimulate his fertility. He started worshipping them to focus his mind on the task ahead. Man worships to focus his mind and it requires only an object and he invests in it the powers which he feels he needs.
