Nice. Finely crafted iron swords in 10,000BC, take that history!
This is probably going to be dumber than even I would expect, but I'll reserve my judgment until I have had the opportunity to see it at no expense to myself.
It seems like the director wanted to cash into the Conan and Scorpion cash cows existing.
That said, I didn't see any swords or the like. Looks kinda cool. I doubt I'll see it though. Not much a movie goer. ---____---

Looks really dumb, the 300 loving crowd should enjoy it though. BTW, there is no evidence that men rode horses before 2000 BC.
Not for combat, but if people rode donkeys, they sure as hell could ride a horse. The problem is, combat would be extremely tricky. Mainly because stirrups (an Asian invention) weren't introduced in Europe and the Mediteranean til around 400A.D.
The Gauls had developed a saddle that held a guy in his seat so he could wield a lance and sword to some effect, but it was the next best thing besides stirrups. This invention was found by Archeaologists dating to around the 4th century B.C. (or B.C.E. if you're an atheist, or politically correct.

Is this an update of One Million Years BC?

I actually saw that movie in the theater as a kid and the only thing I remember about it is Rachel Welch and her skimpy fur bikini.
'Rachel Welch is probably one of the hottest peeps from the '60's and '70's.
I'm surprised it isn't B.C.E. either. All the bored liberals and politically correct people must have been whacking off to Darwin the day the trailer got released.
