New discovery shows spear wrapped in a rope
#21
Mike,this rope was different. It was a stripe actually,that was tied to for a thong. Despite some assuming it was wrapped around the shaft in order to make it spin,we always see it tied into a permanent thong,even when the javelin is already in the air. Also,my amature experiments have shown that the permanent thong was very useful while the wrapped stipe offered nothing. I have to repeat the experiments with proper spear,though.
