Prehistoric Tools And Weapons |
One of the tools that we picked was the:
Atlatl:
The Atlatl was invented to help the nomads and hunters hunt. It was invented 21,000 to 17,000 years ago. The atlatl was made out of deer antlers when it was invented. The atlatl was used to increase the distance of the spears and/or lances because trowing the spear by its self it would go about 50 meters but with the atlatl the spear would go about 2 times farther. It was used all over the world. It was made by carving out a curved shape on a stick or a antler.
