This is an aeolian harp. It's a string instrument played by the wind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yo95SSr7wEFv0 Can you imagine being an ancient greek, where the only instrument you've ever seen is a bitch-rear end lyre or something, and you're traipsing through greece or whatever, and you find this? Maybe you could also post cool items? Inverted Icon fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Jul 10, 2020 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGfyEz2nD3squote:The only known ancient death whistles with archaeological context were published by Salvador Guilliem Arroyo in 1999. They were recovered from the hands of the skeleton of a sacrificed 20-year-old man that was found buried in front of the Ehecatl (wind) temple of Tlatelolco (pic 4). This finding indicates that the whistles are associated with Ehecatl and the wind and Mictlantecutli (death), and they could be related to the ritual of sacrifice. Many other ancient skeletons were found in the same ceremonial complex of Ehecatl. Guilliem proposed that the ritual of the ceremonial complex could be associated with the famine of 1454. quote:If the whistles were associated with Ehecatl or the wind, the sounds of the whistles have also been required to simulate the sounds of the wind, because a strong wind cannot simply be summoned whenever the occasion requires, as in a ritual or ceremony. quote:The only reference to the possible ancient use of this type of whistle comes from the following text: The most remarkable festival in connection with Tezcatlipoca was the Toxcatl, held in the fifth month. On the day of this festival a youth was slain who for an entire year previously had been carefully instructed in the role of victim... He assumed the name, garb, and attributes of Tezcatlipoca himself... [as] the earthly representative of the deity.... He carried also the whistle symbolical of the deity [as Lord of the Night Wind], and made with it a noise such as the weird wind of night makes when it hurries through the streets.

These are invisibility sheafs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiDQVpvbAbM Basically, they're lenticular lens arrays that hide objects at the right distance from them. Doesn't look ready for the military quite yet, but it's certainly something. It looks like the company is one guy trying to sell his optics tinkerings to the army. He already makes a brisk business selling regular camouflage, I think
