As I think many on the forum are unknown to what they are. They have a wague idea - but that is all, and both are very important when it comes to the old Indian history.

dear jens under the title :KuLulza28 -sinhala/srilankan swords-there is a highly interessting tread inkluding a lot of work from Ibrahiim,Gavin and other members on that theme! the only thing that i dare to say is that yalis descended from cows and can fly. greetings iskender
