There was a movie -Shaka Zulu - I think is the title. In anycase the show was about him, and the fighting style he invented. Whereas warfare with Atlatls, darts and spears, was largely survivable, if both sides had shields. Shaka Zulu fought dirty, broke his spear in half, tilted the enemy's shield and stabbed under with a shortened spear. Warfare became up close and dirty. I'm wondering if that had anything to do with - the Atlatls subsequent rarity?
Brilliant presentation!
Good stuff. I enjoyed your new presentational style. Best wishes from New Zealand.
