I ordered this thing for Halloween , but it came too late . This ” instrument ” has baffled archeologists as to exactly the Aztecs used it for . One theory is that it was used for ceremonial rituals , the other theory is that it was used by warriors going into battle to scare their enemy . The warrior theory would definitely work , as the sound this thing makes , is absolutely horrifying ! It sounds like cross between a human screaming in absolute agony , and an animal screaming in a trap , but more like a human . I had fun with it at work , I stood outside the building , and let it go 4 – 5 people went outside to see if somebody was getting killed lol . Animals don’t like it ! It hurts their ears , and seems to frighten them . Dogs back off , cats run with their tails fluffed out , they don’t know what it is . This is a curio , but I’m interested to know what it would sound like in the deep forrest . This thing is loud and horrifying .

That’s very cool.
The psychological terror value of a gadget like this cannot be overestimated.

The hawkers around the pyramids near Mexico city had something like that. Sounded like a big cat screeching.

Just checked them out on Amazon. Wow! All over $100! Maybe getting naked, painting myself blue, and running out screaming a Rebel yell would work just as good. 😉
