I'd be pretty freaked out unless I had 4 or 500 Spanish soldiers and 16 horses with me.

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"

I remember reading a story once... I think it was Aztecs. Two tribes were always fighting each other and decided to make a truce. One of the chiefs had a son and the other a daughter so they agree to have them marry to seal the deal. The one chief sent his son ahead to the other chief in preparation for the wedding. When he arrived for the wedding someone came walking up to him... wearing his son's skin.

They kept fighting.

Why did it take years to find out they were whistles? Stupid archeologists. They should know a death whistle when they see one.

It's normal protocol to blow in to artifacts as soon as they are uncovered.

Did the story say why they kept fighting? Was the song lacking moisturization and thats why?

Did the Aztecs have microphones too? Because that's doesn't seem loud enough to scare anything but a church mouse.

I guess it's only theory as to how they were used. One theory is that they were blown after somebody died to help their spirit in to the new world. Kind of like a klingon death howl. Hell, with as crazy as the aztecs were it could have been music to them.
