Armor across the world

That african armor is /effay/

>Aztec armor
>South America
What culture is the "North American" supposed to be? I never knew of bronze being worked north of Mexico

well judging from the pictures, in terms of the body area protected by the armor, south & north american and african armors seem to be the worse. the rest provide the most coverage, asia and european armor is badass.

Since you posted this, here are some pics I took of African weapons at the British Museum last year.

There was full body armor in Mexico

Are you fucking stupid?

Also, IIRC, the very oddly shaped ones were meant to be thrown.

>aztec armor
>north america
also that armor for africa is not at all representative of what they would wear, its clearly some north african stuff used by the arabs or people who had close ties to arabs/euros, they should have used traditianal african tribal stuff

>South America

I've never seen Afrikaner hunting on horseback.

>Oceania
Scarecrow/10

This armor is indigenous

That's not pre-Columbian, you might as well put Mexicans in Spanish armor by that standard

Give the enemies nightmares

No one should be hunting on horseback, that's retarded. Ancient Egypt is famous for their chariots, you must have at least been aware of that?

More like their own kids, that was a rite of passage deal

I'm not talking about Egyptians, I mean mud hut throwing spear Afrikaner.

Subsaharans never had horses

but where is armor?

Is he the greatest Austrialian to have ever lived?

That is very early.

i would be scared of getting close tbqhwyf

Japs were weird. They were in contact with other civilized peoples just long enough to have the look of well developed Eurasian arms and armor, but they were just isolationist enough to do their own autistic things that look unique, but only really work against other Japs with same equipment.

You couldn't find a cringier furzona?

To be fair I don't usually think "horse" when I think sub Saharan Africa

That looks like it would be hot.

Wakanda foreva

find me some african sculptures that even start to touch the roman/greek stuff
then after that show me some african paintings on par with the sistine chapel

>Aztecs were the first furries of history

find me some kiwi ones while you're at it

there are none
but I didnt spend the whole thread building them up claiming there was though

The katana is the most overrated sword of all time. It literally breaks with contact with armor or another katana. It's only purpose besides as a status symbol was to slash unarmed unarmored peasants.

What does it feel like to be retarded?

The majority of subsaharan Africans are Muslims and the subsaharan Muslim population is 3 times that of North Africa.

Don't pajeets love the marathas?

Most west africans are muslims

user but muh glorious nippon steel?

Based and redpilled.

/fa/ as fuck desu

Yes.

Same goes for East Africa. It's really central/southern Africa that is non-Muslim, and even then very heavily influenced by their Muslim neighbors.

>Use bronze for shitty wall-panels.

>its almost as if bronze is harder to come by

Also those panels aren't shitty there pretty valuable or at least valuable enough for the Portuguese to commission them and for the Anglos to loot them

Also metal armor isn't very good in the jungle
