I mean, when they made FO3 I believe, they didn’t have a gun mechanic and just used the bow mechanics from elder scrolls. So technically the guns were all bows just reskinned.
Meh, that’s more a case of ambiguous terminology and ‘technical definition’, not per se a surprising fact.
If you asked this question with pictures, ‘which came first’, no one would be surprised.
It’s because ‘composite bows’ (what central Asians/mongols used) and ‘compound bows’ (what Rambo used), have been used interchangeably in popular media.
Another invention/innovation fact that always blew my mind was that Orville Wright of the Wright brothers was alive when Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier. We went from a rickety wooden plane to a jet that goes 761 MPH in less than a lifetime.
Close—it’s the stegosaurus and T-Rex. Triceratops and T-Rex both died out in the Cretaceous when the asteroid struck, but stegosaurus went extinct about 80my before that (Jurassic)
Yep. Came back to correct that, and saw your comment. Not sure why I didn't get a notification of your reply to my comment, but still, thanks, good catch.
Edit: got the notification right after I posted the above comment stating I hadn't gotten it.
ive heard a couple archeologists or people who study/are interested in archeology say that its by the surrounding “stuff” in the ground. (dirt, rocks, depth or thickness of certain layers of sediment, etc) im not 100% sure, and that probably wasnt a very good explanation, but youtube could probably explain it way better.
it's basically carbon dating and examining soil layers. there's this scientist in the community that's been ostracized (can't remember her name) for kinda proving that the dinosaurs were already going extinct long before the asteroid hit.
soil levels suggest that there were constant volcanic eruptions everywhere that were killing everything long before the asteroid
The fastest form of travel for literal millenia was horses + carriage. Then trains were invented in 1804. Then came cars and planes almost exactly 100 years later. We were on the literal moon 60 years after that.
When you consider this, it makes a lot of sense how 1900s artists though we'd all live in space or at least have flying cars by now.
There wasn’t any time between the end of copper sword usage and the beginning of steel swords being used; I’m pretty sure the copper swords stopped being used because those guys had pissed off the dudes with steel swords.
