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.
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.
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 .
I remember Forged in Fire did a challenge on making a Chakram and they mentioned that it first appeared in India. It's a really cool weapon.
I'd never seen anything quite like it before!
hi im a big fan brother!!!

This was really cool video. You guys should make a series out of this, there's plenty of crazy ancient weapons.
Yeah
Hard agree!

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.
-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.
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.
MythBusters did a segment on the Hwacha. It was a fascinating weapon.
I think a few of the shots of the Hwacha were from that episode
Ancient History are completely *INCREDIBLE!*
I'm definitely gonna need a lot more of this here masterpiece, as well as a few more lists of warriors for good measure 😁.
For part 2 can you add The Kahar, The Twin Hooks, and the kilij? They are ancient weapons from Deadliest Warrior I know.
do a part 2 of this someday. make more videos about ancient weapons and medieval times
dang that arrow launcher
guess that is the Iran of the 1409ce
Thank u for the motivation to start making videos ❤ I always have a good day when u post
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.
Punji pits
How can you ban a trap?
@@maxaxe1941 Exactly.
The Geneva Convention bans the use of anti-personal-traps. Landmines in the usual understanding are anti-tank or anti-car mines.
I know three of these because of Deadliest Warrior.
The Macuahuitl, The Chakram and The Urumi.
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
Well, damn. I was hoping this was what inspired the sword in the martial arts movie "Regin of Assassins"
Defintely amazing inventions and video! And perfect research for us fantasy writers. This is going to be shared.
Blimey these were pretty startling! 😮 Some I'd a bit of awareness of, others nothing at all. The urimi was phenomenal, terrifying but phenomenal 😮 The Light Lantern is surprising but in the darkness, light is blinding. It's such a simple premise yet a powerful disabling weapon. I'd never heard of the man-catcher, certainly an excellent way to take someone off a horse. Really fascinating video Be Amazed and as always, a totally unexpected direction again ❤❤
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.
The effectiveness of these ancient weapons has been debunked for a long time... but their psychological effect on the enemy's mind was very real...
I really got into this one...good stuff guys👍
Small detail about the hellburner part a small rowboat would signal a fleet to come and destroy the Spanish but the were so impressed by the destruction that they waited too long and the Spanish recovered from it.
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.
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!
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.
The bagh nakh are also used for Japanese ninjas as climbing claws.
Urumi is a weapon used in kalaripayattu ,a martial art in southern India ...
I love you BE AMAZED, y’all drop some fire content, keep it up ❤
Chakra is originated in India. It's even mentioned in our ancient text Mahabharata. It was primary weapon of lord Krishna.
Yes
I really love this vedeo pls make a series
The Chakram is used by a character in Dynasty Warriors video game series(about ancient china in the three kingdoms era)
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.😎✌
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
Just checking when you say goblets do you mean armoured gloves because that is actually called a gauntlet. But still it sounds very cool.
@@EvanForrest-zl3eu yeah that's what I meant, I use voice to speech on my phone and it doesn't quite pick up with my accent. I live on the west coast of the Americas in the high desert in the mountains and on occasion I kind of have a thick Western accent. It's just the way I've been raised being a small-town cowpoke.🤠✌
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.
CZcams take note, this is what you were designed for.
Love your video Be Amazed and keep up the great work
Bro really used a Viking ship instead of Roman ships 😂
The fact that I already knew 9 out of the 15 mentioned weapons, surprised me😂
23:39 Chakram or Chakra is originated from India. There is another variation of this Vishnu Chakra.
@BeAmazed please look into this
@BeAmazed please look into this
Obsidian is 4 microns thick. If edged properly. Death whistles were used for intimidation and scaring enemies into traps
they are called Wagh nacha and also was invented for Shivaji maharaja
The lantern shield is a true gem. I have a small battery powered strobe light next to my knife in my night stand. Debuff the enemy first
How creative humans are when it comes to destroying things..
I heard of a Hwacha from TABS (Totally Accurate Battle Simulator). It's cool!
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.
Kind of sounds like he's a scam artist, since who could possibly be *that* ahead of their time.
Daedalus was a similar story, with the labyrinth and wings.
@@yukitai9063 daedalus scam yes, archimedes no, do the research
@@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.
The mirror laser has been pretty well disproven. Many have tried, but no one can get one to work.
@@yukitai9063 So am i, and am i Not real?
GEEEEEEEZ!!!! I thought the Death Whistle was going to be some other sound, but hearing it be played actually freaked me out. A Lot
Trebuchets are superior to catapults in every way.
Awsome video keep it up!!
I'd like a pair of those hand claws for protection.
Very smart that practice dummies were in place of actual humans for all of the "demonstrations" of how each weapon could kill 👍
The time is 8:07 noon this side, cold + windy and tomorrow I'm taking my drivers test, wish me luck 🤞🏽
Good luck
good luck!
Never thought that the Hwacha from TABS was a real thing tbh lol
Same
It was so popular the devs made it real
18:50 Demon Slayer fans know this as Mitsuri's blade
frfr
First thing I thought of when I saw that sword
For the hellburners the captain could just steer into the enemy to make sure the ship does not drift off
Do a top 10 most unexpectedly deadly animals
I was literally looking at one of these yesterday
the fire lance looks like the inspiration for MH's gunlances
Love your videos :) keep it up please
The crazy Odachis might give Sephiroth's Masamune a run for it's long bladed money I mean look how ridiculous those odachis could get
It's rumored that 1 east Indian sword whip wielder held off 40 men with 1 move. This is why I consider martial arts a dance
8:00 the deadliest handshake
*slap* "BRO YOU KILLED HIM. You had your claws on again didn't you."
"Yeah"
In fact guns were made in China in 105_69ce and this kind of guns where like modern
How many of us paused the video at 27:16 to select the weapon they like best? #2 (second in from the left) for me.
I watched the Korean movie 'The Divine Weapon', all about the Sinjijeon - a type of fire arrow rocket based artillery weapon (Hwacha). I was sure I wouldn't watch it for long but it was quite good.
To launch a 136kg projectile counterweight on war wolf shout have 13.6 tons which is moving left and right -beam size and frame would be enormous.Trebuche operates to only 40 something percent efficiency so claim of 193 km/h is stupid and unrealistic for such heavy projectile.
What an excellent video - worth the subscription. By the way, for info, the religion that last Odachi was likely forged for, is probably Shinto.
the urumi i feel like inspired Mituri's special Nicherin used for her Love Breathing speeds
i think that long blade, double edged spears (or call it a longsword if you want. i mean with a big handle and big blade) would be terryfying
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.
20:04 well i can clearly see it anyways cool video keep up the great work
very beautiful, creative and well done small correction though the bubonic plague originated in sicily not from the mongols
bro keeps teaching me about things and I enjoy it instead of not liking it 😂💀
It is not a sword, it is Dad's belt 💀
Be amazed: what's the most powerful weapon you can think of?
Me: Schwerer Gustav
The first ever gunpowder fual weapon was the firework
You missed the incredible, multi-talented water organ, the Hydraulis. Known mainly as a musical instrument, it was also used as a signal device and as a very effective weapon of war.
If the metal frisbee goes nearby my lower half I going to be sad
1:53 - Ohh, that's Grant Imahara on Mythbusters! They made one to test how deadly it could be, and it was surprisingly powerful indeed!
they were cancelled because of their cellphone episode . they deduced it ( they )DID cause cancer
I've long been of the belief that the inventor of the urumi was looking for a way of committing suicide by decapitation. If so, we can safely assume that it was a total success...
0:05 TAKTEEKAL NOOK, THATS WHAT
I’m lost as to why fromsoftware hasn’t used Lantern Shield enemies and surprised no video game has that belt sword as an enemy type
because lantern shield only effective at night and against real people eyes, both combination that didn't really bode well against artificial enemies lol.
Wow an ancient flamethrower shotgun
"is it wrong if i want one?" that will be your last words before i use that on you
I live in WV, nothing has changed
Adamantium still cracks me up! 🤣🤣🤣
And here many folks assume that firearms and other forms that use gunpowder are a more recent set of inventions. These are in many cases the same folks who want to get rid of firearms. And that no one in their mind needs them. Including by folks who live in either rural or wilderness settings.
Also, certain Japanese folks have their own version of the tiger claws. Plus one deadly weapon in English; the Glaive was used by women in Japan as the Naginata.
Also back then the materials they used were better that today’s because they aren’t trying to cheap out
Please make a video on ancient torture machines.....
That explosive cart looks pretty insane, a bit like a battery of explosive missiles!
Great video! I like your animations.
Sadly my first introduction to the Chakram was Xena Warrior Princess. I scuffed up so many walls and knocked over so many of things trying to get a Frisbee to bounce of 2 walls and return to my hand lol.
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.
Be amazed: what that most powerful weapon you can think up?
Me: tsar bomba
Be Amazed you are always amazing me with your videos.All I have to do now is keepup❤❤❤😂😂😂😂❤.
The B-41 hydrogen bomb, first deployed in September 1960, is the most powerful weapon ever created, with a maximum yield of 25 megatons, or equivalent to 25 million tons of TNT. With a lethality index roughly 4,000 times greater than Fat Man, it's also the most deadly.
Thankfully, the thermonuclear device was retired shortly after its creation. The current most powerful weapon is the B83 bomb, with a yield of "just" 1.2 megatons.
what about tsar bomb
@@iannieto3916 should we tell him?
@@splashy2152 yes
Really interesting. Thank you.
Excuse me, i'm sorry, but, A GIANT SHIP SINKING IRON HAND!!!??? As a huge fan of the Middle Ages, how have I not heard of this?
Can you do an anime compilation Like one of the most psychological anime out there
another thing about the macuahuitl: obsidian can break like glass so you'd leave tiny pieces of obsidian inside the wound
You blurred Da Vínci drawing? Are we suposed to be ashamed of our bodies? Unbelievable stupid YT algorithm
27:09 That moment when I know what Odachi is thanks to Dungeon Fighter Online, like after that first came out as a new weapon type, I looked the weapon up for more info. Lol XD
If you do a Part 2, Do the Organ gun & Chicken sickles
