What was the earliest bow?

The earliest bow was invented by Africans 30 thousand years ago, in western Asia? Africa? Europe has left behind murals of early humans using bows and arrows? However, the earliest bow and arrow in China was a stone arrow unearthed about 28,945 years ago in Zhiyu, Shuozhou, Shanxi. It can be seen that the bow, like the spear thrower, is probably an invention of human beings.

Bow is the first special shooting weapon invented by human beings. Unlike javelin, it can be used as a spear for hand-to-hand combat. If the bow loses its arrow, it won't have any killing effect? But its range is unmatched by throwing a gun? This range provides a possibility for human beings to hurt or even kill enemy beasts or enemy melee weapons before it can work? Then develop various tactics to kill enemy animals or enemies without getting close? Psychologically speaking, the bow is the first means for human beings to kill enemy animals or enemies without taking risks. On the other hand, the possibility of being injured by enemy animals or enemies without bows and arrows is greatly increased, and even desperate. This is a huge psychological effect?

Today, not taking risks to kill the enemy is still an extremely important goal pursued by military science? Tactically speaking, bows and arrows enlarge the killing range of human beings, surpassing all other animals, including other primitive people, and others without bows and arrows? This provides the possibility of creating new tactics and greatly improves the flexibility of choosing tactics?

The earliest civilized country equipped with bows and arrows was Egypt? The main weapons of the Egyptian army in ancient kingdom were tomahawk and bow and arrow? At that time, the arrow was still made of stone, and soon it was gradually replaced by bronze arrow. The Egyptians of the Fifth Dynasty called the neighboring nations Nubians? Libyan? Asians are "people with nine bows", which means that these peoples have long been equipped with bows and arrows? In the earliest civilized countries, Sargon I's archer team was famous, which scared off the surrounding enemies? Other civilized countries and savage tribes are also equipped with bows and arrows-with a few exceptions, such as Australians and Aleutians?

The earliest bows were simple. It's just a wooden bow tied with a rope. That arrow is just a sharpened wooden pole with a stone arrow at most? However, the principle of manufacturing and using the bow has never changed in history-the bow body is made of elastic material, which can be bent and deformed without breaking, and then tightened with tough strings? When the bowstring is pulled hard, the bow body and bowstring are deformed, resulting in potential energy? Suddenly loosen the string, and the bow and chord are restored. This process is extremely short, so the arrow flies forward quickly? As the saying goes, simplicity is beauty? Using the mechanical principle of "converting potential energy into kinetic energy" and cheap and easily available raw materials, bows and arrows can provide effective long-range strike force and are the most successful shooting weapons in ancient times? Comprehensive performance, even more than the early muskets?
