The indigenous people of Australia never had bows and arrows but they did invent a hunting weapon no other tribal group in the world had. Makes you wonder what other inventions we would have if technology had taken a different path.
Many African tribes used these hunting weapons as well. Especially in Africa. A pharaoh of Egypt had the largest boomerang collection on Earth at the time
@@snuskenmaxi very interesting!
They invented throwing a stick? Abos are literal cavemen
@@snuskenmaxi 70000 years after these guys invented them lol
@@jamied8678 Bet they wished they'd've spent that time inventing the gun.
you can tell those are mass produced tourist rangs they are making. actual hunting ones were made with out of branches of which the grain curved with the rang, not cutting across it like they are doing here, which would cause it to be much weaker and prone to breaking when thrown
Perfect anti drone device lol
Rare to see any footage of Aboriginal karli in action.

which place for that old man
@1:15 whale like cloud
its funny ,that the B-2 bomber is made like a boomerang !
its drone on 80's kids
I was excited to learn Deane’s footwear of choice was the leather sandal. I guess it was too hot that day to wear white socks.
Kinda crazy to think that aboriginal people were working with cross sections reminiscent of modern aircraft aerofoils hundreds if not thousands of years ago.
perhaps "crazy" in one sense, but perhaps not so crazy when you consider that Australian aboriginals are the worlds oldest known living civilization (at around 80,000 years), so they've had time to learn from experimental mistakes and refine the craft to perfection. Also, you don't need to take to the sky to experiment with aerodynamics, as paper planes show :) Perhaps also crazy is that no other cultures seem to have invented anything similar so it's quite a unique tool/weapon!
@@DaveWhoa I was near Cairns and a fellow said that they watched maple seeds helicopter to the ground and that's how they got the idea for the boomerang. (maple or some other native Australian tree with a similar seed shape).
@@nmarbletoe8210 they are an amazing result of nature! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samara_(fruit)
@@DaveWhoa , do you mean "culture", rather than "civilization"?
@@smadaf what are you trying to say bro?
wow, so greatfull for this. There's so much hidden wisdom inbuilt in these teachings wow,
Hmmmmmm
Victor Poulin asking to the expert: in your opinion, how come do hunting boomerangs avoid the torque that makes a returning boomerang come back?
and after so many different shapes coming back, how can an asymetrical boom behave like a frisbee?
thanks!
Just clicked on this video and your video with boomerangs came up
weird to see him without his moustache.
Great video but the 1 he showed at 3:21 is not going to return in flight. Notice it has no trailing edge.
Victor Poulin real boomeranges don't come back
Jacob Hatley lol Jacob I think Victor knows a bit about boomerangs. You should check out his channel!
Only the second one would have any chance of returning as the others were only made for the tourist souvenir market.
Mr. Skittles, real boomerangs that originated from the East coast did come back, but the majority or them are non-returning kali.
Skittles, lol . a completly failed comment.
\o/ awesomee
A lot of people say the indigenous people didn't invent the wheel ,in a derogatory way. However wheels only work two ways you either have an animal to pull it or you push it yourself and pushing a cart through the Australian bush in the heat is just not practical
Charlie Drake's Boomerang did not come back, as in the song he recorded.
Watch boomerang men the fifth world, I think the first guy making to boomerang here is in the other video. Could be wrong.
i think i saw the lady beside him in another video in how the europeans introduced their food products and messed up their digestive system.
Using an axe. We are told aboriginals didn't have steel. Next....
I never could find my boomerang
Boomerang original is kukri of wood , os an arm , danger
Osmar Passinato what?
Hold on a minute, these are Kylies or killing sticks not returning boomerangs and returning boomerangs don't need to be symmetrical either, many are not.

I'm pretty sure you can still buy plans with all the details you need on Woodprix.
