okay this got a good chuckle out of me, I gotta use this to insult my brother.
if we wanna get more technical, I have aztec in me, so I am a mix of everything, along with human sacrifice.
why you gotta hurt me and remind me Im related to the Spaniards.
They also never made bows until the white man taught them how. Forget about the Clovis shit
woah woah woah, ok yeah I see the point but the terminology implied differently
I doubt I'm the first one to say this but I think this might actually be @The Last Stand 's specialty.
d-double post, Technically we didnt use spears, but we used obsidian bats/swords more than we used spears. More war clubs/wooden bats with obsidian shards stuck in them.
I don't know what's funnier: your ignorance, your projecting, or your butthurt.
I'm afraid, my friend, you are effectively a fetish-doll (in the old sense) for these people. Probably in the new sense too, when I think of it.
For me, it's less with the storytelling of old movies but more with the glamour and class that said actresses had from that timeframe. Also, many old movies have set the standard for their respective genres that may or may not have been replicated today. It's American ingenuity on the silver screen that shows the talent of directors and actors for anybody to experience.
I forgot what the aztecs used for ranged combat, either bows or slings. I know the eagle warriors were basically ranged elite soldiers. On top of bows, we used something else, but it slips my mind
That’s interesting to think about, because the Spaniards didn’t make it EVERYWHERE. For instance, around San Francisco and Northern California, the white colonizers were Russians
And they’re just beautiful.
Supposedly, our ancestor ran off with a highway man shortly before the conquistadors sped up the collapse of the empire, where we then proceeded to ping pong between mexico and texas for years, great grandpa was a tail rider for poncho villa, then we eventually decided texas was better than mexico, and permanently settled there.
They can get pretty same-y
people underestimate the damage you can cause with a sharp piece of rock or metal embedded in a stick.
hey no shade to YOU either way. people get misled about history all the time due to anachronistic paintings, bad school info, or just hearing something in passing. it was more funny to me to think our school systems might be teaching kids that amerindians were so technologically advanced they skipped spears.
There’s a joke to be made here
oh huh, yeah we did use these, along with those fancy dart thrower sling things. now I know what theyre called, thanks.
is he at least using protection?
ironically ours werent meant for kills, just to maim so we could take them prisoner for use in sacrificial rituals
I wish death upon ye both
Yeah but it was all fake. They were actors, it's in the job description. You watch your average 50s movie and it's like bullshit that didn't match up to reality. Chinatown couldn't have been done in 1957.
