I don't know the history of falconry.
It seems unlikely that such an esoteric activity would evolve in multiple locations; more likely that Japanese falconry and European (not to mention US) falconry evolved from some shared ancestor.
So whose bright idea was it?
Do we have a clue?
- prestonbriggs 11y agoHmm, well, Wikipedia suggests Mesopotamia, about 2000 BC.
- prestonbriggs 11y agoOr maybe Iran, as early as 8,000 BC. Astonishing. Or maybe Mongolia? Apparently the conquistadors noted the Aztecs using trained hawks, so some parallel development seems plausible.
