interesting warfare before BC!!
  • gunpowder, the long bow,Trebuchet( catapult),The Battering Ram

    are among the 7 mentioned weapons that changed warfare

    I think we should also add the wheel/ charriot and taming of the
    horse.
  • Im sure most of the members familiar with computer games would have played
    or heard of the game called Age of Empires (there are 3-4 parts of this
    game) by Microsoft Corporation. Its quite exhaustive and brilliant in the
    portrayal of warfare before BC. The detail is just stunning. The use of
    trebuchets, battering rams, etc are all intricately portrayed. There are
    explanatory ntoes about each weapon, each civilisation is superbly detailed.
    The architecture is wonderfully researched even though there might be few
    errors its a good crash course on ancient weaponry while playing!!
  • Hi

    it is very unfortunate but it can be observed that man's ingeunity
    come out toppers in warfare and related activities.

    when hannibal crossed the alps rocks in the path were cleared by
    lighting a fire underneath and pouring wine on the heated rock. it
    would splinter.

    but 90% of warfare technology is oriented towards getting farther
    from the enemy and yet more accurate.
