Atlatl
Commonly known as a spear-thrower, the Atlatl is, without a doubt, a deadly weapon.
This powerful weapon allowed warriors to throw spears from a great distance with deadly force and speed, easily piercing through any armor or enemy.
The weapon has an elongated body that ends in a hook where the darts are placed, and it also possesses a handle with two perforations for a strong finger grip.
Capable of reaching a speed of 130 km/h (80 mph), darts made of wood, flint, teeth, bone or obsidian. They were able to pierce the flesh and incapacitate an enemy within seconds.
In Mesoamerica, the Atlatl earned its fair place as a symbol of war, power and greatness.
It became a must during the classic era wars. It was so important that in the temple of Jaguars, in Chichen Itza, almost 180 different soldiers were represented holding this particular weapon.
