I’m sure isn’t not often an omaha photography company gets to capture the infantry formation techniques of an ancient Macedonian army. Well…maybe more than I think, I don’t know. It was all phalanx and sarissa’s with the UNO History Department the other day!  thinkMOTION, we do Omaha video AND Omaha photography as well!

Here’s what wikipedia had to say about a Sarissa by the way:

The sarissa or sarisa (Greek: σάρισα) was a long spear or pike about 4–6.2 metres (13–20 ft) in length used in ancient Greek and Hellenistic warfare. It was introduced by Philip II of Macedon and was used in his Macedonian phalanxes as a replacement for the earlier dory, which was considerably shorter. These longer spears improved the traditional strength of the phalanx by extending the rows of overlapping weapons projecting towards the enemy, and the word remained in use throughout the Byzantine years to sometimes describe the long spears of their own infantry.
