Good thing I wasn’t alive during that time period and that I live in this very much appreciated present
Weak men these days would be destroyed.
Miren si no es en español no lo veo hello gracias
Great documentary ❤
Thank you for sharing this story.
An with zero operator as said here the things CAN’T be bout accuracy.. guessing more like causing mayhem an what damage possible while trying to be resourceful an not risk anyone or thing significant if can be helped. Even at max “effectiveness” how much damage an shocking would them huge horse drawn “auto” crossbows really be??
ALSO, paper… Not too surprising actually seeing as vast majority of the time gunpowder propelled weapons was, if known in acient times, in most places exotic an rare or difficult an hard to effectively employ an just like how IF you Take a single paper sheet its not hard at all to rip in half. BUT if you take a ton of sheets an put them together like shown an said which was bout only way to do it.. to make scale THAT thick it doesn’t sound so far fetched they’d be able to block sone sharp objects an/or projectiles. Not like bullets an rockets an like so should work fine if done right
An that “death bed” would anyone WANT to survive that?? Sure some MAY have but youd suffer so bad an be hardly able to move youd wish not. An theyd probably have you finished off or left there
My guess for the Chinese horses would be that aside from the tail of the animal being lit they probably also had a rope slowly burning that would release volleys of arrows once it burned through each section of crossbows so the releasing of arrows would be staggered…
Even on the darkest day I will stand tall and see the light. –Unknown
If the ancient Chinese civilization could see how far their descendants have fallen…
IDK those Indian weapons looked pretty janky… Those hilarious metal whips, or the deadly frizzbees😅
I like that last device.

Are we allowed to say Mail anymore? Idk
The cart arrows did not look like they had any kind of real force behind them to be a threat. The guy from India with the rings did not fling it off his finger. Like the description said. The sword that was suppose to kill 9 people at once really got me though. Busting open paper bags of sand is a lot different then flesh and bone. Easy to prove it works when you rig the test in your favor.

Because camels are bigger? Right, and their ability to actually survive in the desert has nothing to do with it. How about all of the horses die before they make it to the battle, while the camels could outlast the armies.
Joe Biden sucks
