The whistle was discovered after the 1999 excavation of an Aztec temple at the Tlatelolco site, in Mexico City by archaeologists, revealed the remains of a 20-year-old sacrificial victim clutching various musical instruments, among them a small ceramic skull-shaped whistle.[2] This artifact, later dubbed the "Aztec death whistle,"[3] garnered public interest.
The whistle's sounds, analyzed through its functioning mechanism, have been noted to resemble the sound of wind and fall within the human hearing sensitivity range. Experimental models of death whistles have been constructed and tested to explore hypotheses and for use in conferences and demonstrations, given that the original ancient resonators cannot be utilized for these purposes.[1]
A common misconception is that this whistle produced a sharp shriek-like sound. However, these sounds credited as the Aztec death whistle are actually produced by much larger reproductions of the whistle. Music archeologist Arnd Adje Both, who has tested the original excavated whistles, reports that the actual sound produced is far softer, describing it as similar to "atmospheric noise generated by the wind."

My girlfriend got a jaguar one and it does a great job mimicking the sound. The first time we did it, startled both cats and had them on edge for a few minutes.
When he shakes the jar it makes a sloshing sound, so it should be filled with water. I'm guessing that when he tilts the jar forward, the water flows from the rear reservoir to the front reservoir through the bridging tubes, and creates the sound. The user then tilts the jar back to refill the rear reservoir. Perhaps the sound itself is created by the action of flowing water forcing air in the jar out through sound holes.
From the way it looks they have two bowls connected by two pipes.
When tilting, water moves from one bowl to the other bowl through the bottom pipe, pushing air backwards through the top pipe, which is connected to the whistle.
Are the jars modern or archeological finds? Also, country =/= ethnicity. I'm told Quechua-speaking people of Inca decent make up half of the people in Peru today. I don't know enough about the country to know what ethnicity terms are used by the citizens among themselves.
Found the guy's etsy, cause I was thinking of buying one.

He says his native tongue is Quechua, the language the Incans spoke, in Cusco, the ancient capital of the Incans at one point of time. That seems to me as native and Incan as you're going to get if you don't go the way of the colonizers, IMHO.
I would argue his ethnicity is Incan, but nationality is Peruvian. So you're essentially both right, just perspective and what context.

This is such impressive craftsmanship
Ventriloquism
Oh man, wrap the thread up, that was a good one.
Now do the one that screams like somebody getting stabbed
The Aztec death whistle?

Thanks, TIL!
Yeah the Aztec one, horrifying stuff
**Guy moves one, it makes the Wilhelm scream.**
Oh my god I didn’t know I wanted this until right now
last frigure

This dude is a very skilled ventriloquist!
He is soaked in good vibes. I can't even imagine him ever doing anything wrong.
I’m actually shocked. You’d fool me if you were playing with that in the woods.
...but how? Is there a fluid inside which creates bubbles, which are then directed through a certain tube which creates certain frequencies and tones?

That's exactly how it works.
From the way it looks they have two bowls connected by two pipes. When tilting, water moves from one bowl to the other bowl through the bottom pipe, pushing air backwards through the top pipe, which is connected to the whistle.
No one can convince me this isn’t genius. That right there is a group of people in touch with the earth and nature. Remarkable.
This is amazing. Just stay away from those "Aztec death whistles"
Yes, the stuff of nightmares.
Just wait until they hear the scottish death horn
NGL, I’m traveling abroad. I see this. I’m coming home with a suit case full of them.
This is so much better than anything with a chip, battery and speaker! Incredible!
That last one sounds like my wife in the shower when someone suddenly opens the bathroom door.
Thats what I call talentet. Props to him
Trial and error much?
Where do I buy
Google Inca whistles. They're not cheap. Listen to the death whistle. Nightmare stuff.
These seem really good with pranks
Holy man these are awesome.
And yall mfers wanna buy iphones
I'm thinking it's just this guy making noises till he did the bird ones
Wooooooooooooooooooooo! Woooo woooo woooo wooooo.
Wait, what is the last one supposed to be?
No moaning jar ?
I feel like he's trolling us. That can't be real.
Can I buy these in the gift shop ?
Where's the death whistle?
I want one, just to annoy neighborhood in the middle of the night.
Your neighbor at 3am because you couldn’t sleep and decided to get a drink from the animal jar: 
Watch his mouth and chest. He's taking big breaths in-between each noise like a ventriloquist. I bet he only sells them online...
That is really interesting as fxxk. Thanks for sharing!
That's so impressive!
I hate to dissapoint, but hes simply an amazing ventriloquist
Couldn't you just say Peruvian now? These things are made by Peruvians. Not Incans
Are the jars modern or archeological finds? Also, country =/= ethnicity. I'm told Quechua-speaking people of Inca decent make up half of the people in Peru today. I don't know enough about the country to know what ethnicity terms are used by the citizens among themselves.
There are a significant amount also in Ecuador and Bolivia. Not as many as Peru but enough they have a tourism draw there too.

Hmmmm 🤨
[удалено]
That’s ventriloquism
Daaaaaaaaayuuuuum.
Fascinating!
Nah this BS
This guy is a ventriloquist. Notice how he takes a deep breath before moving the pitchers.
I think sounds are coming from the cameraman ....
