How cool is this? With the Odyssey movie now screening, could anyone actually fight wearing "Dendra" armour from the historical period of the siege of Troy? Yes!
"... researchers at the University of Thessaly in Greece and the University of Birmingham in the UK recreated the Dendra armor and equipped modern-day soldiers with it for a simulated combat protocol.
"They found that the armor wasn’t just some fancy decorative piece for the Mycenaean aristocracy, as previously believed. Rather, it is a formidable armor suitable for extended combat. This discovery offers new insights into the military prowess of the Mycenaeans and reshapes our understanding of ancient warfare."
