    Boomerangs are heavier-than-air flying machines that were first collected over 2000 years ago by King Tutankhamen of Egypt. They developed from flattened throwing sticks used by early hunters, who accidentally discovered that the boomerang could return to the thrower when fine-tuning hunting sticks. There are two types of boomerangs - smaller sporting boomerangs that return to the thrower, and larger non-returning war boomerangs used for hunting and warfare that can reach distances over 200 yards.
