Could be worse, could be teaching Warhammer 40K.

 

Next thing you know, your sweet child starts talking about the Empire of Man, heresy and refuses to wear clothes without red stripes.

This outfit is based on the stories of one-breast amazon archers:

Modeled by a young breast cancer survivor. I can appreciate her mind set.

Ever wonder what a possum sounds like?

I can't decide whether this is really really cool or kind of horrifying?

Ah yes, lingerie armor ...

Amazons didnt really wear much armor as far as I know.

 

That leaves the question of what was considered armor within the historical sources.

 

Or otherwise, if they really didn't wear anything in the form of body armor and actually were a historical fact rather than just legend, that leaves the question whether them having been reduced to little more than myth would have had something to do with them not wearing any sort of body armor ...

Well the other native tribes in south America didnt wear much armor either. Think Aztecs and incas. And we know they existed, untill Spanish guns horses and disease wiped them out. 

 

Except the mesoamerican civilizations did use armor. For example the Aztecs had pretty sophisticated armor. Would give more examples, but searching for "Mayan armor" only gives me dozens of pages of stupid Assassin's Creed links.

 

Also take note that armor is always relative to what it has to protect against. In the mesoamerican region, that would have been obsidian blades at worst, or spears and clubs made of wood and stone, etc.. Mesoamerican metallurgy wasn't much of thing, mostly used for coinage, jewelery and industrial metallurgy mostly revolving around copper, a very soft metal that isn't fit for making tough/sharp weaponry when there's much cheaper stone or sharper obsidian around to use instead. The mediterranean region however was commonly using comparatively advanced metallurgy, bronze and later iron, against which you need likewise advanced armor to protect yourself against. Not wearing any kind of armor against enemies using bronze or even iron tipped spears, swords and shields is suboptimal, even if they were geared for highly mobile styles of warfare or even just fast skirmishers instead of giving open battles.

Oh boy, I've heard stories from my parents from back when they were in the US for my fathers pilot training about how those 'Muricans drive, especially regarding those turn signals.

 

Is it still true the entire traffic will hastily vacate your vicinity if you turn those on?
