now to watch them really abysmal archery she's good Halladay missed from there he missed the right you notice where I hit that big site live man he gets another going wait a minute that is quite clear a bit of paper or something glued to one side of the arrow that's forming two flights but to stabilize an arrow in three-dimensional space you need a minimum of three flights honestly oh look at the way he's holding the bow with that pinch grip in his right hand oh that's painful very oh you missed for the left that time oh and the SAC has moved across you'll notice that's quite precent of them isn't it to move it there knowing that he was gonna miss in that direction why exposition dialogue because he wants you to take a message to the new King Menelaus younger brother of High King Agamemnon of Mycenae High King some sort of supreme ruler is he that's right and now he's talking more against Troy why you know why because we control access to the silks and spices of Byzantium huh what well there isn't a silk trade yet that will be established for centuries and there isn't a Byzantium either better get used to it where is he now this high king of this now we're about to see him shoot sideways because I don't know it might be cooler or something and maybe it's a gag very metallic clunk mm Agamemnon's in sparta for the funeral we're gonna get another look at the bow and you'll see just how ridiculously deep it is look even when he's not drawing it back it's so bent that his arms are only long enough to bend it just a little bit more that is a very inefficient bow now I put this one down to Saving Private Ryan and people seem to have this idea that landings should be opposed but one reason is that you get to kill large numbers of people and that that apparently is what good action is but it is a rather ridiculous thing we've always been jumping from water in all their kit just like I did in Saving Private Ryan well why would they do this why would they make an opposed landing almost no landings throughout history in any period were opposed all you've got nose nose guard there so they must be major characters um to oppose a landing today you just need a couple of machine guns and you can do an army quite a lot of harm but back in those days you needed a big army to stop a big on and if a big army was in position to stop a big army well then the invading army just land somewhere else and knocked across it now these incredibly low poundage bows yes in fact some of the arrows don't actually make it out of frame but most of them just make it out of frame I'll slow some down too but oh wow can you imagine the power of a boat and knock a man off his feet from 400 yards anyway no one's holding it a shield in front of it you'll notice I suppose that the CGI another man down the CGI hour which is not threatening enough hold your shields in front of you someone hold come on you're being shot at I know there any CGI but you could pretend couldn't you Oh fire arrows I'm gonna have to make another video about these soon in summary no and just no right so let's see if they've learned anything about no no they still haven't hold your shield in front of you you're being filled with lots of Tarot's the shields there for your protection oh look at these gonna slow it right down look some of those artists lived out of the shot but oh my goodness every one of coconut when they hit what power they have hooked that one Texas wood fell onto him gilding Wow look at that knocked off his feet incredible power to the Getty fact I would have been lived living now if you just tell this shield shield proper actor a single word from prime and all these archers are someone they were just waiting for him they would do nothing unless he said the magic word this hope he doesn't tell them to fire tell him to shoot please how'd it so what's the target well it's this masked melee in front involving his own men and those are the enemies so he's shooting lots of his own men but it's okay to the movie and that's standard so everyone just tears off from duels there's no front line let's just see how many men we can kill us to do possible do you know I've had enough nice fun a nice shot there on the ladder oh good writhing right now I'm not going to slow the footage down for this time this is full speed I assure you I want you to look at this arrow here and try to ignore if you can this funny fiery thing on the right lane yep it just falls into it I now very good order from obvious yes yes retreat from the archers but not from anyone else look how cooperative everyone is everyone just stops fighting just breaks apart no blows our exchange amazing the Greeks have sailed character possible yes can it be that they've summoned him urgently and yet not given him any clue as to why such fair camp now the legends say that they Greeks made a really good job of pretending to sail away but he's alive abandon all their stuff here accordion they're really expensive one of the most expensive if not the most expensive things a household would own would be as cauldron now this eagle-eyed boy will he spot the thing he's looking for it oh I think you've seen it yep just five paces in front of him is a what I think it's gonna be a 60-foot tall wooden horse but they wouldn't its clad in bronze and not just a small amount of bronze oh no that's a huge amount of bronzer how thick the slabs are there's a bit round the front there I don't know if if a foundry existed at that time capable of making a single piece of bronze that big I now know why the Trojans brought in the wooden horse is because well that was not bronze on it to pay for the war that's a fortune in bronze they're few jump cut and get them forward just listen to this English dialogue they're having a deaf bit but to be fair it is very difficult to react realistically to a big 60-foot nothing your jeans are not to be trusted and all their gifts no sorry the Aegean that's the sea off the coast of Troy where you are now the Achaeans on the other hand there are the people who besieged joy according to Homer see also archives and Dana urns goujian's are not to be trusted and all their gifts ever prepared Prime has a single word that he needs to speak and this will summon arches from nowhere who will then test any wooden sculptures in the area for occupants arches bows don't creak those are the slowest arrows I've ever known did the calculations and they were going at 15 feet per second those arrows my bow which is not very powerful does about 170 noble kyng this is a day of great sadness for you yeah not just you mate
