THERE IS NO SURE WAY TO SAY WHICH CAME FIRST BUT EXAMPLES OF THE FORM PROBABLY DID EXIST LONG BEFORE MAN HAD THE ABILITY TO WORK METALS. I WILL INCLUDE SOME PICTURES FOR DISCUSSION AND OPIONIONS AND CONJECTURE. FEEL FREE TO ADD FURTHER PICTURES.

REPRESENTED HERE ARE STONE, BONE AND WOOD WEAPONS.

now for some more modern forms. from kris (Moro) to keris (indonesian) to India and perhaps Persia. sometimes referred to as flame blades and naga blades.

before to work metal, humans used stones, curved very precisly,
judge by yourself the details of those arrowheads

- origine; Algerian south Sahara desert, near Timimoun - Adrar
- date; 15000 years - neolithic tools

and also,
- same period, but issued from Libya, not far from Misorata, a small axe
