Atlatl Darts Are the World’s Oldest Weapons
The atlaltl was considered one of the first original weapons created by modern humans and it is believed to have preceded the invention of the bow and arrow, too. The weapon has a handle and a notch capable of holding a six-foot-long spear. And the great thing about this weapon is that it allowed the user to hurl a spear a lot further than it would travel if it was simply thrown on by hand.
