Most Incredible Ancient Weapons 

Can you make a cute but deadly animals Part2 Plzzzzz

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.

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.

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

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.

Ancient History are completely *INCREDIBLE!*

Thank u for the motivation to start making videos ❤ I always have a good day when u post

MythBusters did a segment on the Hwacha. It was a fascinating weapon.

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.

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

I'm definitely gonna need a lot more of this here masterpiece, as well as a few more lists of warriors for good measure 😁.

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.

dang that arrow launcher guess that is the Iran of the 1409ce

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

I know three of these because of Deadliest Warrior. The Macuahuitl, The Chakram and The Urumi.

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 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!

Defintely amazing inventions and video! And perfect research for us fantasy writers. This is going to be shared.

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...

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.

Bro really used a Viking ship instead of Roman ships 😂

The bagh nakh are also used for Japanese ninjas as climbing claws.

Love your video Be Amazed and keep up the great work

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 ❤❤

The time is 8:07 noon this side, cold + windy and tomorrow I'm taking my drivers test, wish me luck 🤞🏽

I love you BE AMAZED, y’all drop some fire content, keep it up ❤

If the metal frisbee goes nearby my lower half I going to be sad

How creative humans are when it comes to destroying things..

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.😎✌

23:39 Chakram or Chakra is originated from India. There is another variation of this Vishnu Chakra.

GEEEEEEEZ!!!! I thought the Death Whistle was going to be some other sound, but hearing it be played actually freaked me out. A Lot

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.

Never thought that the Hwacha from TABS was a real thing tbh lol

The Chakram is used by a character in Dynasty Warriors video game series(about ancient china in the three kingdoms era)

Chakra is originated in India. It's even mentioned in our ancient text Mahabharata. It was primary weapon of lord Krishna.

8:00 the deadliest handshake

Regarding "Greek Fire", the original name is "Liquid/Wet Fire" (Υγρο Πυρ) and there were also handheld versions for anti-infantry use.

The fact that I already knew 9 out of the 15 mentioned weapons, surprised me😂

In fact guns were made in China in 105_69ce and this kind of guns where like modern

Love your videos :) keep it up please

Urumi is a weapon used in kalaripayattu ,a martial art in southern India ...

Hwacha is a weapon you would expect to see in a traditional Indian action movie but instead of those explosives... We'll have arrows. Like in BAHUBALI 😂😂😂

the fire lance looks like the inspiration for MH's gunlances

18:50 Demon Slayer fans know this as Mitsuri's blade

I really got into this one...good stuff guys👍

Trebuchets are superior to catapults in every way.

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.

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

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

Very smart that practice dummies were in place of actual humans for all of the "demonstrations" of how each weapon could kill 👍

I'd like a pair of those hand claws for protection.

I really love this vedeo pls make a series

That explosive cart looks pretty insane, a bit like a battery of explosive missiles!

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

For the hellburners the captain could just steer into the enemy to make sure the ship does not drift off

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. RU-vid take note, this is what you were designed for.

Early squad 😎

I heard of a Hwacha from TABS (Totally Accurate Battle Simulator). It's cool!

Adamantium still cracks me up! 🤣🤣🤣

I live in WV, nothing has changed

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.

Do a top 10 most unexpectedly deadly animals

the urumi i feel like inspired Mituri's special Nicherin used for her Love Breathing speeds

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

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.

Awsome video keep it up!!

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.

What an excellent video - worth the subscription. By the way, for info, the religion that last Odachi was likely forged for, is probably Shinto.

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.

I was literally looking at one of these yesterday

*slap* "BRO YOU KILLED HIM. You had your claws on again didn't you." "Yeah"

Be amazed: what's the most powerful weapon you can think of? Me: Schwerer Gustav

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 💀

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!

20:04 well i can clearly see it anyways cool video keep up the great work

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

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

only 100bc-700ad kids remember this

If you do a Part 2, Do the Organ gun & Chicken sickles

You blurred Da Vínci drawing? Are we suposed to be ashamed of our bodies? Unbelievable stupid YT algorithm

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...

Interesting, believe I heard the name wolf for some of the early small breech-loading Swivel gun that sat on a railing of a sailing ships too.

I come to videos like this to see possible characters for the game for honor but I actually get interested

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

The oshaku was a very rare blade and almost never used. It was too long to use effectively.

Please make a video on ancient torture machines.....

Great video! I like your animations.

0:05 TAKTEEKAL NOOK, THATS WHAT

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

Also back then the materials they used were better that today’s because they aren’t trying to cheap out

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.

another thing about the macuahuitl: obsidian can break like glass so you'd leave tiny pieces of obsidian inside the wound

Really interesting. Thank you.

Your application of puns is expert level

18:22,i think we all know where the inspiration of mitsuri's katana came from now
