Part 2: https://youtu.be/E-heFAo9puc Finally I'm doing a deep dive into the Macuahuitl, one of the most intriguing weapons of history. In two parts, to not strain everyone's attention span too much at once... In part 1 here I'm looking at what it looked like (according to historical texts and paintings), how it was shaped, and what's important about its design. Part 2 is about how effective it was, based on historical accounts and practical tests. By the way, it's NOT a "Macana". The Spanish conquistadors messed up that term. Don't skip the outtakes at the end, you might find them amusing. ;) *** Sources / Credits *** Spanish sword, 1530-1550 https://www.patrimonionacional.es/real-armeria/espada-4 Sword of HernĂĄn CortĂ©s (reproduction) https://www.surdoc.cl/registro/3-44039 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Macuahuitl_Nezahualcoyotl.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:American_Museum_of_Natural_History_-_Mexico_%26_Central_America_-_Aztec_weapons,_tools_and_other_objects_2_(Virtual_Natural_History_Museum).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Set_of_Mesoamerican_bronze_axes.JPG https://www.karlssonandwickman.com/oceanic-art/0mok9bp4giep6wbav0gabhmzdt4nc0 Amazing knapping skill by Anthony Silva Soares (pressure flaking prismatic obsidian blades): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYHMtjaAwCQ “The Impact of the Macana: A Theoretical Exploration of the Combat Effectiveness of War Clubs in the Guianas and Beyond” (2020) by Don Arp, Jr., PhD https://www.floridamuseum.ufl.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/44/2020/11/JCA-Arp-final.pdf “The macuahuitl: an innovative weapon of the Late Post-Classic in Mesoamerica” (2006) by Marco Antonio Cervera Obregon https://woosterglobalhistory.org/LAcolonial/archive/files/23395812_33c717a7fb.pdf Pre-1860 macana https://www.cultura.gob.es/museodeamerica/en/coleccion/etnologia/macana-venezuela.html https://www.mexicodesconocido.com.mx/cerro-de-las-navajas.html Surviving (damaged) Macuahuitl at the Museo del Templo Mayor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macuahuitl https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=Florentine+Codex https://www.mexicolore.co.uk/aztecs/home/mexica-weaponry/1000 https://www.mexicolore.co.uk/aztecs/artefacts/maquahuitl https://www.palatinopress.com/the-art-of-the-duran-codex.html https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Macuahuitl_(DSC07972a).jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Maya_Jaina_Island_Warrior_Figure.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:American_Museum_of_Natural_History_-Mexico%26_Central_America_-_Aztec_weapons,tools_and_other_objects_2(Virtual_Natural_History_Museum).jpg https://enciclopediagro.mx/cultura-general/ichcahuipilli/ https://combatarchaeology.org/the-rorby-swords/ https://www.khm.uio.no/english/collections/objects/a-dagger-ahead-of-its-time.html https://www.lot-art.com/auction-lots/Antique-Fijian-or-Samoan-paddle-club/2189-antique_fijian-21.11.19-millea *** Support the channel *** You can help tp keep the channel going, get bonus content and access to an exclusive Discord server: https://www.patreon.com/c/skallagrim https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3WIohkLkH4GFoMrrWVZZFA/join If you prefer not to subscribe to anything, one-time donations are welcome too: https://www.paypal.me/SkallagrimYT Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/skallswag/ If you want to join Bonfire to start selling your own merch: https://www.bonfire.com/welcome/07bb14169c804/ Other ways to support the channel by shopping through affiliate links: Kult of Athena, my favorite online store for reproductions of historical arms and armor, fantasy swords, etc: https://www.kultofathena.com/?koa=259 Purpleheart Armoury, for HEMA gear and practice swords: http://www.woodenswords.com/?Click=1799 You can also go through my affiliate link when ordering from Amazon: https://link.amazon/B00wOolmY *** Other social media *** https://bsky.app/profile/skallagrim.bsky.social https://www.facebook.com/SkallagrimYT https://www.instagram.com/skallagrim_yt/ #skallagrim #history #historicalweapons #aztec #obsidian
