Whistles of Death

[tepan4d]

Ustedes estan como los arqueologos y conjeturas cuentificas. Todo lo que encuentran era para sacrificar.

Pero nunca se cuestionan si se morian de viejos. se embarran asi mismos. Muy Mexicanos, y no saben ni que significa el lugar de donde vivfen. O me equiboco?

[Lowkedeath420]

yea some of em are animals but tht death one is freaky. Cuz hes playing the ones he made after the ones he found. Sounds like some freaky trapped souls stuff. (sacrificing yourself is nuts) Something no man should do i think. Gotta know the consaquences shit......... giving your soul is a big deal. dont see how people are talk into becoming like sheep yo 4 real. (peace)

[WireMan7620]

I want some of these!!!

[Afrocanuk]

Many a Aztech P.O.W's suffered cardiac arrest just listening to that whistle. Probably more than were sacreficed.

[DSX147]

Sounds like a boling lobster.

[Chiakakiri]

Holy fucking shit dude.

[Oddwen]

I hear geese and a Star Trek transporter beam.

[obscuregeisha]

I just sh*t my pants

[sinbd]

it sounds like a wail. like sufferings ghosts.

[freakishfae3]

I hate to burst bubbles but these archaeologists are obviously not hunters. These so called death whistles sound exactly like game calls being played by some one who has no clue what they are. The first one especially. They show jaguar skins and feathers as part of their regalia. They hunted or trapped to get them. Some of these at least seem to be common predator calls and bird calls. I bet you could play this tape out in the Arizona dessert and it would call up a coyote or two.

[rolthox]

@freakishfae3, That's a really cool idea.

[BlakOktobure]

@freakishfae3 That may infact, be it. Though they might've used it as part of their rituals as well (Keep in mind, they had Jaguar warriors, Eagle Warriors. So it could have also been used as a symbol of their status/Ritual uses.)

[MrTover]

some sound like horses

[sativasinsemilla90]

i want one of those flutes

[EATshitanddrinkbleac]

this is now my ringtone

[trejo1961]

you are right they are suppose to imitate animal sounds the first one is some type of owl

[TheLastMexicatl]

It seems to me like all the instruments were made to mimic the sounds of animals such as frogs, birds, monkeys, and jaguars.

[Triplesod]

I could agree with that.

[MiraLove]

And barn owls if they lived in the region.

[Malice808]

Makes sense..But they sound goddamn creepy D:

[BlakOktobure]

@TheLastMexicatl They where! If I'm not mistaken, i remember there's a type of drum that the Aztecs had that mimicked the sounds of Jaguars. :D

[Jodreck]

0:50 sounds like a nazgaul from lord of the rings!

[HangedMan30]

This is disturbing. Some of it genuinely sounds like screaming.

[derfsanderson]

Ya it sounds like a person mainly a girl or young person being violently killed

[mousecuit]

This reminds me a bit of some of the things in the Carlos Castaneda books!

[fershnildo]

So these whistles are like dog whistles to fend off the hounds of hell.... Got it.

[LaShnike]

That. Is. Awesome.

[Turbo852]

Those are some amazing sounds! Some of them sound like animal cries. I'm sure film makers could make use of them.

[erl4nd0]

fuck thats scary

[keyboardkomuso]

Awesome! As a flute maker myself, I am very interested in the history of ethnic flutes of all kinds, particularly "primitive" flutes. This was very informative. Thanks for posting it!

[gemini61091]

lol good bit.

[PriestessLithia]

I like the scary ones that sound like screams(or a monkey).

[faithm]

or maybe they were just toys for the kiddies

[Dec3ptive]

Imagine if M. Might Shamlin(sp?) woulda used this sound in The Village as the sounds the creatures made from outside forest borders...before we knew what the looked like...scary when you put it to a red cloaked silent unkown monster

[MADH1GHLAND3R]

i would love to have one in fact if i was a millionaire i would buy one

[mexicaguy]

I have some for sale. I have been trying to perfect this art as well for 13 of my 33 years. You can hear the sound of mine on a grainy video if you go to my youtube account. But nevertheless, you can hear them. I actualy just fired 5 of them. An 2 in particular came out really nice. I also have the ones in the video. Send me a message if interested. Tlazocamatl. Thank you.

[Zellig]

I want one made of real human bone.

[delfino2187]

where can i buy some ?

[boysdontcry17]

imagine you're sleeping when suddenly a guy dressed in leopard skin and wielding an obsidian axe and whistling with that flute bursts into your house.

bloody terrifying

[blafenix09]

These whistles of the deaths occur a little bit of fear like a call to the death like a call to the death

[Guitarisma]

Maybe it was used as a distraction to make the prey think it was some sort of animal in the trees before being attacked.

[mslfxr]

This whistle was also used in healing cermonies as well I have been told. A friend of mine uses this in that respect. I have heard it called the Mayan Death Whistle and it was used in battle as well to intemidate the opposition. It is considered a very sacred intrument and most of the public is unaware of it. It use to be that you had to be "checked out" before one of these were given to you by a person connected to the Myan culture, in hopes you would only use this in a good way.

[Barqu3ntine]

Sounds like the Ringwraiths from Lord of the Rings.

[WolksVagon449]

It's a scream that's /almost/ human, but sounds like something much more horrible.

[vfxmasterorin]

i know, im gonna use it for alien sounds in my next film....

[Kelpy]

very interesting for a flute player

[bugsbunnyvsdaffy]

can you buy this whistle anywhere

[gioguzman]

in mexico any place is just a damh archeological place. My dad has a a lot of whistles that he found when he used to work the fields in the south. If ppl would turn all the stuff we might know a bit more of our ancestors.

[jamaicasky]

those whistles sound so eerie, like someone screaming hoarsely. or like some prehistoric birds screeching, spirits. Native Americans use whistles and sounds in ceremonies, like the yuipi ceremony too, and thats a ceremony calling on the dead ancestors.

[jamaicasky]

sorry it is spelled Yuwipi

[cmsahe]

Thank you, your comment was interesting and cultural. Best, Carlos

[dudeintheband]

Interesting yet frightening to some extent.

[CaramelMarshmallow]

That whistle is horrible.

[CastlesandMansions]

Okay, that whistle needs to be buried back in the ground. It sounds horrendous.

[cmsahe]

Yes, I can imagine the prisoner about to be sacrificed, lamenting his fate playing this whistle. But they accepted it, it was part of their cosmology, they needed these human sacrifices to keep the universe working. Regards! Carlos

[TheJaguarKnight]

bone chilling
