    As a aboriginal Australian, I can proudly say ‘real boomerang’s were for hunting food, not to be played around with like a toy’

      And used in ceremonies as well they were really effective in warfare

      The boomerangs from King Tuts tomb are of Aboriginal origin...most likely gifts to him when he became King or on his birth...thats why they were entombed with him..they're important in his after life.
      They're in the Vatican with him.

      I dont believe he should be in the Vatican...however it might also be the safest place for him to rest undisturbed by rogues maybe

    Beautiful video and beautiful boomerangs..may i ask you how do you tune it to fly steady and not climing to much?? Are you bending the wings of the boomerang in a negative position?

    That one painting of warfare appears to depict the Khopesh--a rather unusually shaped sword, rather than a throwing stick. It has that shape and you can see a bit of the guard above the handle.

      The oldest known boomerang is Polish made from a mammoth tusk so that says it all right there. Most Australian aboriginal history is made up and proven to be BS. Everything from smoking ceremonies (1970's), welcome to country (1970's), dot paintings (1970's) are all current inventions from the later 1900's. Even their stories of bringing dingoes to Australia has now evolved to fit the false narrative they spin.

    Was the returning boomerang just for sport or was it also used for hunting ?

    • @occpaleo9412
      @occpaleo9412  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Our research showed there were some models in Australia for bird and bat hunting that at least stopped forward motion and returned some, that were only for hunting and not sport

    As a Aboriginal person, we have many different shaped boomerangs for different situations, such as a normal curved boomerang for hunting bird's that's the actual one that comes back to you if you master the throwing style correctly. and The killer boomerang wich is longer and heavy but not as curved and sometimes has a hooked end could also be used as a club and thrown lower to the ground to break legs of an enemy or animals. 👍

    Whether a boomerang returns or not, depends on the thrower. Of note is the 1st throw in the video, which did display a tendency to return. The throw was immediately modified to prevent return. If you want to prove the theory that Egyptian boomerangs were not designed to return, then you need to throw them like you would a real returning boomerang & see what results.
    If the boomerang is providing lift, then throwing it with an almost vertical orientation produces lift in an almost horizontal direction, which is what makes a real returning boomerang return. I suspect that throwing an Egyptian lifting boomerang in that orientation will show that it at least has a strong tendency toward returning & therefore shorten the trip to retrieve it, because that is how the physics of flight works. Just remember that it takes the skill of an expert thrower to get even the best Australian boomerangs to return to the throwers hands.
    Also, the amount of lift produced is a function of the boomerangs airfoil section and declination to the axis of rotation & geometric twist along the arms & camber line shape. Making a boomerang from diagrams that don't show this level of aerodynamic detail, proves nothing at all because you will not be duplicating the flight characteristics.

    Would be interesting to learn how the construction of a throwing stick compares to the construction of a boomerang. How the way they are made differs.

      They are boomerangs. There os two types. Returining and straight flying, egyptians used both types.
      Europeans also ised boomerangs until tue end of the roman period, celts used them to hunt small and medium game up to ypung deer. Greeks, arabs and other semities also used them as did the mongols.
      In inner mongolia they are still used in many forms. South indians also have them.

    Not all aboriginal boomerangs returned. The yarrakilla ( something like that) boomerang was designed to go straight. So there could be a link to the 2 cultures. Which could mean australia was visited by the Egyptians thousands of years ago.

      @@richardfinlayson1524 Looks like my comment is back the front. King Tut's DNA showed that he was from Europe ( as were his horse ), so he might of picked up the boomerangs on the way. This would also explain why Aboriginie's have European features ( or visa versa, compared to Africans). It also explains why I look like a picture of ' the last of the Tasmanian Aborigine's' ).... my parents were White Tasmanians .
