Delve into the fascinating history of the ancient javelin. The pointy stick that has been used for centuries in battles and sports competitions. In this video, I take a closer look at the ancient javelin and its capabilities through a series of experiments. I explore the amentum, conduct experiments to measure the range and speed of the throws, as well as the penetration power of the javelin.
