I believe Hylian Dan gave enough evidence on ZI, that it blows your idea out of the water. Now then, lets get back on topic.

I won't deny he's worked long and hard, and I respect him for it. But that doesn't mean the theory should just be accepted without accessment and just because it's interesting it's more likely to have been intended more than anything else.
Also: Evidence? I see no evidence that Majora came from the desert battle ground. Just that it had some sort of link to it.
I see no evidence that Hyrule/The Sacred Realm was going to be invaded.
I see no evidence that the Giant's Mask was to be used as a weapon of conquest.
I see no evidence that the Light Arrows were sent to ruin the builders plans.
I see no evidence that the Light Arrows were provided by the Goddesses themselves.
I see no evidence that sacrifices took place at the Stone Tower.
I see no evidence that the Tower builders themselves were guilty of anything.
And you expect me to accept a theory which has made so many claims and just has so many left to verify? Do you take me for an idiot?

But I really just don't see it as such. And it representing the giants loins could make sense, I'm assuming you mean in a "giants (male) + Goddesses (female) = creation, but then you would need to bump the giants up a level to gods, instead of gaurdians. And I agree with Hylian dan saying that the gargoyles COULD represent the giants, though I'm certainly not certain that it's true.

I read somewhere that Termina was a by-product of the Goddesses creating Hyrule which may certainly be possible, but I'm not sure of it's worth in canon so I'll drop the issue if it isn't commonly accepted, regardless in my nourishment issue I meant that the Goddesses could have given life to Termina so the Terminians recognise they wouldn't be there without the Big 3.
On the loins issue the statues could be carrying the message that they are the 'children' of the Big 3 and have the triforces instead of thier private parts to represent this.
What matters is that you can accept that these could have been made just as easily right? And it's not as though the rape theory hasn't got any problems with it. I've certainly never heard of rape by tongue before, or rape by apparantly sitting on something. Or maybe the builders thought the Goddesses like it a bit rough and they and the Giants have a special friendship?
So 'Unity' is now another possibility.
