[split] Phalanx warfare: use of the spear

[Paul Bardunias]

Hmm...we are getting close to my last post it seems.  The first pic is from a DIFFERENT PAPER looking at stabbing with knives. 

As to the second pic.  Yes, that is the figure he used that is a total lie.  You now see why I redrew it.  45 +45 has to equal 90!!!  This I hope is a universal math concept.  Can you fit two of his 45-50cm arrows in the space of one of his 90cm arrows??  Show me.
