Best Answer

Almost. Australian aboriginal boomerangs are specially-shaped flat, blade-like throwing sticks used to hunt wild animals - if thrown correctly they will return to the thrower.

In ancient Egypt, throwing sticks were also used. In hieroglyphs, they are called amaAt, "throw-sticks" (the a and A represent consonants not present in English, not the vowel "a"). These were simply curved natural sticks and were not designed to return to the thrower, so in that sense they were not like boomerangs.
