Just found this video of an Aztec artifact that when blown into sounds like the scream of a dying man. The skulls have been known for a while but it's only until recently that we discovered the sound that goes with it. It is theorized that they were held by thousands of warriors as they ran into battle.
I thought this was interesting and wanted to share, anyone else have things similar to this in other cultures?

Imma say that it wasn't "thousands" and more like tens or hundreds, if that.
They could have had some form of drum/bugle corp that joined the assault.
>>18494576
Interesting, never heard of this.
Best part of video: Some jackass is babbling the whole time the guy gives his presentation about the Death Whistle, but once the Whistle starts he shuts the fuck up.
Worst part of video: Whoever made it decided he need to make a sample of how it would have sounded in war, so he multiplied it times a hundred and coupled it with a horse stampede and declares this is what an Aztec cavalry charge would sound like --- Umm, Aztecs didn't have horses. Horses came to the New World with the Europeans.
>>18494851
Were Emus close enough?!
>>18494851
I think multiplying it and adding horses is for dramatic effect, not historical accuracy. Nonetheless this would scare the shit out of me if I heard it before battle.
>>18494576
How much trial and error before they got that sound just right and to sound like a blood curdling scream.
>>18494854
Emus are a kind of bird and they're from Australia so no.
>>18495213
It wouldn't scare me I'd be thinking you'll be making that noise with your throat's in a minute you little brown fuckers!
>>18495593
There's an american version too.
Nobody rides them tough.
I also have a jaguar whistle, they made more than one of those.
>>18495616
would you be kind enough to share a demonstration with us?
>>18495338
If I recall high school world history they placed a lot of emphasis on science and mathematics but it sounds pretty fucking close.
>>18494576
Honestly the freakiest part is when he stops for a moment and it takes a solid half second to build up again to a full scream and it sounds like someone realizing they just got impaled or lost a limb
>>18494613
Look up flower warfare, pretty intressting shit, the aztecs and neighbouring states ritualized warfar
they would meet at a predetermined place both sides having the same amount of soldiers (literally unheard of in the known history of war), then they would put on a big show with bonfires music and dancing before they bumrushed eachother and tried to capture enemies to sacrifice
>>18494576
Every time I would show this video to someone I would say "I want to show you dis" Right before the video started.
That stupid sample with 100 whistles and horses sounded really fucking stupid, it just sounded like wind. The idiot who edited that video needs to get kicked in the face with a steel toed boot for that.
The regular whistle was really horrifying tho, sounds like a guy screaming.
Looks like some gay shit you'd get for free in a liquor store for buying a top shelf tequila.

>>18497928
indeed
I want one though what a good item to fuck with the homeless junkie shitbags here in town
"plz give me dollar"
>pulls death whistle out and gives it a toot
that is really cool whistle, can we buy that anywhere like on ebay or something? those aren't made out of real skulls are they?
>>18497953
lololol
what about taping it on the back of your car muffler
>>18497961
haha nice
https://youtu.be/d-fKUvdva2I?t=4m15s
it starts at 5:15 , best whistle ever, it is like a ghost shrieking
>>18494576
It's amazing how Hollywood can't produce a convincing human scream, but a little piece of clay can.
>>18497995
I'm really interested on how it is made (perhaps it's at end of vid, honestly it freaked me out and I closed it)
that is unless this is hoax vid
which I hope it is not =(
>>18498006
little pieces of leather soaked in grease and pinched together like human vocal chords. when you blow through them it makes the same sound as air being blown directly through human vocal chords. im making a guess, I don't actually know
>>18497961
HAHAHA holy shit
>>18497995
>It's amazing the jews spare expenses
>>18500327
fuck off /pol/
>>18494576
Looks like something a conman would come up with. Any mexibros here?
>>18494576
It was used as psychological tool of war, imagine being a enemy tribe when suddenly from the woods you hear hundreds of screams and watching a lot of warriors going rampage to kill you
>>18500353
What's up amigo :b
>>18500336
you're just salty at our magik faggot.
>>18497961
>car muffler
you mean low rider muffler
And I thought the Jericho trumpet was bad. Imagine if Stukas were fitted with these instead.
>>18494576
Aztecs did not have horses
>>18497961
brb getting one
>>18495338
The rest just sounded like someone having an orgasm
>>18497961
Dats only in the mawnin'!

Those are badass. In Far Cry Primal they used Aztec death whistles for one tribe whenever they started attacking and the effect was perfect if you played it on a harder mode where you knew you were completely fucked when you heard the whistle/screams.
