I'm one of the people who sometimes goes to the comments before watching a video. I agree completely, this was a well-made and researched video. Entertaining with just the right amount of information peppered with light humour. I don't even feel the need to fact-check the stories. Subbed, liked, and shared. More power to you, I look forward to more quality content like this. KZbin take note, this is what you were designed for.

I remember hearing a story of the larger Odachi being used by cavalry too, they'd have someone hold the sheathe as they took off.

[@heikos4264]

-While i heard it was used against cavalry. I could imagine up to 1.5 meters was used by cavalry and 1.5 und more against cavalry.

[@Pfisiar22]

Obsidian also has a tendency to break easily and create wounds that do not heal easily. so if the wound doesn't kill you, you have a high chance of developing infection from pieces of obsidian stuck in the wounds.

[@SilentFlames907]

Yes, the odds of the Macuahuitl actually cutting a limb or head clean off are pretty small (and decrease every time the weapon hit something). What it will do is smash limbs and bones, and leave you ripped apart and probably bleeding to death. A thoroughly nasty weapon.

[@William.Shakespeare]

it is used currently in scalpels as rather than shred the cell walls it cuts cleanly througt them . they are very expensive and disposable so though better in quality not often used .

[@tylerperiodic.table.9]

[@kamaljayasinghe6158]

btw, im sri lankan and i wanted to say most (sri lankan) urumis were used in a traditional form of fighting called angampora, from what i heard it was never used for war just practice and it is called 'enthunu kaduwa' meaning wrapped/wrapped up sword

[@sleepingkirby]

Well, damn. I was hoping this was what inspired the sword in the martial arts movie "Regin of Assassins"

[@navret1707]

MythBusters did a segment on the Hwacha. It was a fascinating weapon.

[@heathowen1452]

I think a few of the shots of the Hwacha were from that episode

Regarding "Greek Fire", the original name is "Liquid/Wet Fire" (Υγρο Πυρ) and there were also handheld versions for anti-infantry use.

i was thinking blood of the earth mixed in , or as we call it today , oil.

[@khoihn]

Fun fact, hellburners wasn't a 16th century Dutch invention but it was actually a 3rd century Chinese invention. During the famous Battle of the Red Cliffs fought between the naval forces of warlord Cao Cao (pronounced 'Tsao Tsao') of Northern China and Sun Quan (pronounced 'Sun Chuen'), one of Sun Quan's commanders (Zhou Yu, pronounced 'Jo You') came up with the idea of loading light vessels with flammable reeds, firewood, etc. When they were close to the enemy ships, Zhou Yu would give the command to set fire to the aforementioned ships and the sailors aboard those ships would jump off. To rub salt in the wound for Cao Cao, the fireships were heading for his navy at an incredibly fast rate, thanks to the wind blowing towards Cao Cao's ships. No prizes for what happened next: the hellburners rammed into Cao Cao's fleet, his men were thrown into confusion; some were burned alive, others jumped into the Yangtze river and drowned and when the forces of Zhou Yu arrived at the scene, they massacred the ones that survived the initial attack. Cao Cao managed to flee though. I got this info from the 14th century novel 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. Happy that I could share some information.

I'm glad that to show some fairly accurate representation of the Hwacha you used a cut from the game Ghost of Tsushima which is one of my favorite games. The game also has something similar to the Fire Lance except in the form of a club that can shoot pellets out of the end like a shotgun. Even it's effective range (visually, not mechanically) appears to be accurate to the weapon featured in this video.

[@rowenaquijano3532]

How creative humans are when it comes to destroying things..

[@karenritter2574]

Our local pumpkin patch farm had a fully functional war wolf that would send pumpkins into a nearby pond. Chakram and Urumi definitely badass imo.

[@JohnLamp-g5d]

The trebuchet was also invented by Archimedes in Syracuse for wrecking ships and was named counter weight catapult (καταπέλτης αντιβάρου) in Greek. Check out also sun rays concentrator/deflector (κάτοπτρον). The same kind of mechanism is used in Olympia, to light the Olympic flame, for the Olympic games, from the Sun. It was used in much larger size and was directed on ships to burst them into flames!

[@Uthael_Kileanea]

One of the worst "weapons" I know of are those ground hole traps with spikes inside. Purely a defensive weapon, but they're so horrible that they're banned today. Interesting, because landmines are not. Some versions covered the spikes in dung, leaving survivors with high chances of infection.

[@Fragg13Rox]

[@maxaxe1941]

How can you ban a trap?

[@makutamon]

@@maxaxe1941 Exactly.

[@KozKalanndok]

The Geneva Convention bans the use of anti-personal-traps. Landmines in the usual understanding are anti-tank or anti-car mines.

[@fellowfear8453]

This video was very educational and enjoyable, keep up the good work! My favourite was by far the Chakram ❤

[@Jesse-zk9ge]

You know what I've seen a fair bit of very interesting ancient weapons in a few antique stores. I one saw some cool pair of goblets that were also equipped with clause on the ends of each finger. Plus old Cambodian dagger which had on top and bottom of the hilt of the blade tow small Flintlock mini ball guns, I think it was designed so that after you stab somebody you shot afterwards adding insult to injury.😎✌

[@nucleonegro9762]

Or to fight with the blade once you run out of ammo, but stabbing then shooting is a good way (although overkill) to make sure your victim dies

[@GameTortoise3ertrt4]

Just checking when you say goblets do you mean armoured gloves because that is actually called a gauntlet. But still it sounds very cool.

[@Jesse-zk9ge]

@@GameTortoise3ertrt4 yeah that's what I meant, I use voice to speech on my phone and it doesn't quite pick up with my accent.

Calling bullshit on the macuahuitl. While obsidian is extremely sharp it’s also extremely brittle so it would have a hard time cutting through a human neck let alone a horse. Not saying it wasn’t effective weapon but saying it can cleave through a neck or horse is bs.

Archimedes is a god amongst mortals. I remember reading in ~8th grade that Archimedes' death was an accident. The Centurion wanted Archimedes for his intellect during the Siege of Syracuse, but a legionnaire accidentally killed him. Dude aided Greece in both physics and engineering, with water displacement, circles, the hydraulic screw, the giant hand, and a mirror-laser.

@@albertfcb6654, I'm pretty sure I'm aware of his contributions in history and the validity of the sources, as mentioned in my original post. I also know that Daedalus showed up in mythological stories not historical recollections, not to forget how all of his mentions involve gods and inhuman feats, so Daedalus was always known as a fraud. I questioned Archimedes' legitimacy because that guy was centuries ahead of their technology and wisdom in different fields.

[@timalice-2833]

As a precursor to the hell burners, in 208-209 ad during the Battle of Red Cliffs in China, fire ships were used. The kingdom of Wei was engaged in a naval battle against Wu and Shu. Wu was used to naval combat but Wei was not but their army was larger. Wei chained their ships together in order to let their soldiers walk on the ships like land. The Wu/Wei alliance had ships which they loaded with flammable oils, pitch, straw, and other burnable materials. They sailed the ships as close as possible, lit the flames, jumped overboard, and crashed the ships into the Wei ships. A Shu strategist predicted there would be an unexpected wind that saw which helped fan the flames. Since the Wei ships were chained together the flames spread to most of the fleet and was integral to Wei’s loss.
