The Moche Toss
Ғылым және технология
The "Moche Toss" is a recreation of an ancient Peruvian sport/ceremony in which participants use atlatls and darts to launch feathered objects into the air, and then try to ensnare them before they hit the ground. It has been filmed here in slow motion.
Music is by the modern Chilean folk band, Illapu, from their album Música Andina. Traditionally the Moche played pan pipes, drums and quenas.

Back again from the experimental archaeology ologies episode
Wonderful! Brings an aspect of the Moche alive. And nobody gets killed!
This looks like fun and the music is awesome. I'm going to make a atlatl at home ✌️🇲🇽🇺🇸
That looks like hours of fun. And trash talking 😉
I found this from the ologies episode!!

Wow, such an amazing sport for hunting practice from ancient South America. I loved seeing this. They're good at it too, many hits.
Amazing!! Excellent footage
Great video Devin! Valley of Fire is such a great event and to have the moche toss upped the fun to another level. You really have to toss a few to understand how much fun and addicting it is. Thanks for putting this video up.
This is so cool, thanks for the video! ❤
Saludos desde Perú, tierra de los Moche. Felicitaciones a los Drs. Christopher Donnan y Donna McLelland, grandes conocedores de la Cultura Moche. Felicitaciones también, a todos los que participaron en la recreación del lanzamiento de estólica.
Fantastic!
Ive watched this at least 10 times, love the vid and the music
One shot of it not in slow motion would have been perfect
Very good!!!! Vídeo incrível!
It reminds me of Mayan Chitchen Itzel ruin in Mexico with impossibly high “basket ball hoops”.
Sasan kvalli nantekitih 👍🏽
That's rad as fuck
Me and the chaps on a Friday evening
Hello atlatl American brothers, Thank you for sharing this beautiful video ! Thanks to you, the Moche toss is on its way in France too ! It happened for the first time in St Paulien during our Prehistoric Weapons European Championship : www.webarcherie.com/index.php/topic/36606-the-moch-toss/?hl=%20moch%20%20toss and : www.webarcherie.com/index.php/topic/36462-manche-de-saint-paulien-13-et-14-juin/

Chilean fork band illapu- look at the info underneath video
It seems absurd that Archaeology Magazine should rechristen this ancient sport " Ceremonial Badminton " when , in praxis, and as bird hunting practice , it amounts to skeet shooting with atlatls.
