Description
They have been around since the dawn of recorded history. According to the Bible, David used a sling to slay Goliath. The storied Roman Legions used spears to conquer their enemies. And even today, these primitive but effective weapons are used throughout the world. SLINGS AND SPEARS visits the vast collection of The Royal Armouries in London to chronicle the history of these ancient weapons. Through slow-motion footage and miniature cameras placed on the weapons themselves, you'll see exactly how they work. Military experts detail the strategies that have kept them in the world's arsenals for millennia, and chronicle the battles where they changed the course of history. From their stone-age origins to footage of them today, this compelling program documents the tactics, physics and history behind SLINGS AND SPEARS.
