As an atlatl thrower is see some pretty huge mistakes here. It certainly does not provide 200x more power. If that were so I could throw a spear about 6km. it provides 200% more power. more if the thrower is longer.
They also make the mistake of showing the dart's blunted, fletched end being placed inside of the hook. In reality, the dart has a cupped conical depression drilled into it, possibly with sinew or other reinforcing fiber wrapped around it to stop it from splitting as easily with repeated throws, this depression fits over the spur. As the atlatl is swung. keeping the dart level with the eye for accuracy, this cup and spur creates a bearing system that helps propel the dart down a narrow arc and release just after the apex of the throw, though following through the motion of the throw is still important.
ATLATLLLLLLLLLL that scream was personal💀

Paleoindians didn’t invent the atlatl it was already a widespread technology across much of the world during that time.
It was invented in many different places.
Love this animation
This is a sweet a** video for what appears to be a small group making this haha.
They could've just picked up some fast food from a drive-thru, but had to wait for the car to be invented.
Nice job.
ATL ATL !!!

Exaggeration. 200x 🤣🤣🤣
it is 200% not 200x, if it was 200x then the best spear thrower would be able to throw a spear nearly 20 kilometers!
The total mispronunciation of the native word. You would think as educators you would do a simple Google search to get it right.
