Aztec Death Whistles Sound like Human Screams and May Have Been Used as Psychological Warfare • When odd, skull-shaped grave items were found by archaeologists decades ago at an Aztec temple in Mexico, they were assumed to be mere toys or ornaments, and were catalogued and stored in warehouses. However, years later, experts discovered they were creepy ‘death whistles’ that made piercing noises resembling a human scream, which the ancient Aztecs may have used during ceremonies, sacrifices, or during battles to strike fear into their enemies. • Two skull-shaped, hollow whistles were found 20 years ago at the temple of the wind god Ehecatl, in the hands of a sacrificed male skeleton. When the whistles were finally blown, the sounds created were described as terrifying. The whistles make the sounds of “humans howling in pain, spooky gusts of whistling wind or the ‘scream of a thousand corpses” • Roberto Velázquez Cabrera, a mechanical engineer and founder of the Mexico-based Instituto Virtual de Investigación Tlapitzcalzin, has spent years recreating the instruments of the pre-Columbians to examine the sounds they make. He writes in MexicoLore that the death whistle in particular was not a common instrument, and was possibly reserved for sacrifices – blown just before a victim was killed in order to guide souls to the afterlife- or for use in battle. • “Some historians believe that the Aztecs used to sound the death whistle in order to help the deceased journey into the underworld. Tribes are said to have used the terrifying sounds as psychological warfare, to frighten enemies at the start of battle,” explains Oddity Central . If the whistle was used during battles, the psychological effect on an enemy of a hundred death whistles screaming in unison might have been great, unhinging and undermining their resolve. • Some experts think the ancients used the different tones to send the brain into certain states of consciousness, or even to manage or treat illnesses. Some of the replica whistles created by Cabrera make sounds and tones reaching the top range of human hearing, almost inaudible to us. • An expert in pre-Hispanic music archaeology, Arnd Adje Both told Los Angeles Times My experience is that at least some pre-Hispanic sounds are more destructive than positive, others are highly trance-evocative. Surely, sounds were used in all kind of cults, such as sacrificial ones, but also in healing ceremonies.” • Roberto Velázquez Cabrera notes that although pre-Columbian music has been lost to us in modern times, the sounds of recreated whistles can be used to give us a better understanding of the ancients. He said, “We've been looking at our ancient culture as if they were deaf and mute. But I think all of this is tied closely to what they did, how they thought.” • http://www.ancient-origins.net/news-m... • • I brought my Aztec Death Whistle down into the Mississippi River valley to sound during the Witching Hour (between 3am - 4am). This whistle was an awesome birthday gift this year. With me are my Blue Bay Shepherd Kurgan and German Shepherd Lobo. • I have been going down there (the river valley) at night since I was a kid up until the present. I have many night videos shot down there on this channel. I feel very comfortable down there. The paranormal doesn't scare me typically. I believe there are things unseen that can feed off of our energy... our fear. That's why they try to scare you. If you feel no fear towards them they can't feed off of you and they actually fear you. This may sound crazy to those who don't understand these things... to those who don't see and feel what 'some' of us can. The human eye only sees a small portion of the visible light scale (a fact). There are 'things' around us feeding on 'some' of us that most are oblivious to. THESE ARE THE THINGS OUR ANCESTORS MADE SACRIFICES TO. It was the fear and the blood these things want. They are mentioned in culture after culture throughout history. I have always been very sensitive to paranormal things and often see and sense things others don't. I often hear voices whispering to me from the woods, especially at night down there. They want me to join them. I have saved all the ashes of my dead dogs and will have them all spread in the river valley here along with mine when I die so we can wonder here together on the other side in an area we have found so much happiness in. :-) . • • *Visit My Instagram: / 1st508th_airborne
