The archaeological anals of prehistory are rich with conflict and warfare. As an archaeologist interested in warfare, I have always wanted to put together a historically accurate caveman army.
Ahh, to hell with it! This army is a combination of modern fact and cinemographic glitz. Remember the movies 100,000,000 BC, Caveman, and Quest for Fire? Relying on their ritualistic knowledge of nature and their prey/predator relationships with now extinct animals, these Neanderthals can put together a devastating force of large monsters and creepy cavalry!
