BOOMERANG

Boomerang



Very cool thingy :))
We aaaaaall know that boomerang came from Land down under...wright? Australia, wright?

biiiiip....wrong..answer :)


The oldest known boomerangs come from Europe

Used either as a weapon or for sport, these devices are flat, curved structures thrown through the air, only to return to the thrower.
One boomerang that was discovered in Jaskinia ObÅ‚azowa in the Carpathian Mountains in Poland was made of mammoth's tusk and is believed, based on AMS dating of objects found with it, to be about 30,000 years old. 



King Tutankhamon, the famous Pharaoh of ancient Egypt, who died over 3,300 years ago, owned a collection of boomerangs of both the straight flying (hunting) and returning variety.


There are many shapes depending on its flight characteristics
