The images don't match the words in most of this video.. they were describing Immortal Persian soldiers using short swords, and the image was carrying an axe! Yes, that was a cheetah..the editor may be a cheetah too! Lol
It strikes a great balance on weight, protection, mobility and the price and effort to make it in mass production. However, usually bracers and leg protection was worn with it, if one could afford it. My Viking Chainmail basic and the Visby scale improved kit do only work when using ships for raid party logistics. Anyone unarmored would simply outrun, exhaust and single you out to gang up on you.
I'm pretty sure that late medieval plate armor is way more known than lorica segmentata. Over all most people first think of knight in full plate armor when armor is mentioned, not the roman legionary.
5:00 - They did wear armour. The Aztec (Jaguar + Eagle) warriors wore cotton armour called 'Ichcahuipilli', like a medieval gambeson, capable of stopping arrows, swords, darts and even musket shots!
@@perrywithcigar217 Capable is possible, not definitive; especially at extreme range. Shit, I'd rather be wearing one than not, if I was shot by a musket!
@@perrywithcigar217 I've just remembered it wasn't just as I'd mentioned it. They also repeatedly soaked it in extremely salty brine water. Water would evaporate leaving it with a salty crystalline reinforcement. Actually quite ingenius!
Just one thing about those Polish Hussars. They had those wings for two reasons. 1st is it was decoration, 2nd - the much more important was, cause of Mongolian empire's expansion. During their invasion their riders used Lasso to pull down the riders from their horses, but those wings made it ineffective, cause it was not able to fully fix the rider due to them, and it gave the rider chance to maneuver and eventually break it.
It was some kind of puffer fish armor. But yeah I hate how he talks about something and the image of what he is talking about has already passed or has yet to come. When he was talking about the mongols camp he showed a civil war camp you can see the muzzle loader if you pay attention.
Chainmail or more properly mail armor doesn't spread the force of the impact, it is as flexible as a t-shirt, armor needs to be ridgin to spread the impact, like plate armor. Allso mail was very rarely used alone, it was in most cases used with gambeson, a thick layered cloth armor, that alone could stop most sword strikes, but mainly used as padding under mail, cus mail doesn't protect from blunt force trauma.
"Deadliest animal in South América"... the Aztecs were in Mexico, and Mexico is in NORTH America, South America would be the Incas. Aztecs North America, Mayans North and Central, Incas South
Well, the animal that was shown was a cheetah, and those don’t even live in South America. I’ve officially lost confidence in the accuracy of this channel.
Central America is just part of North America as it's part of the plate. The Dorian pass is also the Continent division fault line area in Panama. Basically most use Panama canal as the division mark instead
The silk catching the arrow from a horseman's back is while riding and letting a pillow like pocket of silk sometimes sticking out feet behind the riders back, and when it was filled with air the multiple layers of silk soft fould catch the arrow way before it could cause any injury to the rider, it had to be filled with a giant air pocket to stop an arrow. You make it sound like they wore a leather under shirt and that stopped arrows.....
You are trying really hard to make this work. If that was the case, why was the detail that's always retold that they were silk? All the reasons why after are just speculation, like they could be pulled out etc. and are needless: they wore silk because that's what they had.
In the defense of Carthage human hair was woven into armor too that seemed to repel arrows. Pretty ingenious use of whatever you could get your hands on.
Trust me when I say mail armor barrely spreads a strikes impact, the gambeson ( which I'm surpised diden't get a Mention since that type of armor was used true out history and by many cultures around the world with even forms of this type of armor bieng used in the modern millitairy in the form of stab vests) that was worn underneat the mail did that job. Gambeson exists out of layers of linnen filled up with thicklayers of wol stacked over eachother and was increadably effectif even though it might not sound like it. Stopping slashes and cut's from swords by them selfs many lower end soldiers true out history and even country used these forms of padded armor. Also where are the brigendine's on this list?
Never any love for Gambeson and especially none for padded. Chain is overrated, padded is by far, the most practical and cost effective armor out there.
@@danielhomant2832 well mail is not over rated either it was increadably effectif as a armor bassicly offering almost compleet protection against cuts and even to a degree against trusts. I would even say mail is also underrated. That's why again people around the world true out time used it. But I agree with you compared to gambeson that get's no love at all it's overrated. I also purposefully used jackchains instead of vambraces and I don't have thig plates but mail to not cover my gambeson. Doing this even has historical pressence sow my 15century full plate harnas is still historicaly plausibel/correct. I just want to show my gambeson sow people that are lesser known about the subject of armor would ask me about it and I can tell them what it is.
As cool as the winged Husars were, they are not at all medieval. I tried not to cringe during a few points, but Kataphraktoi wearing bronze swords? Surely not!
the inmortals were not feared becasue of their killing or Military skill, they were feared because as Mushu said in Mulan "They growth like Lilies" they had replacements and once you killed one another "inmortal" took the place immediately.
They captured opponents for ransom first, not sacrifice. It was 5 opponents they had to capture to become a knight. Anyone could become a knight. Women who gave birth were also given Knighthood.

Which the Romans learned from the Celtic tribes who are believed to have brought it west with them. It's funny,, most people associate the lorica segmentata with Rome, but it was the lorica hamata that I believe got the most use.
@@acebongboy yep. that's true, but let's say, Romans used it more profoundly than celtic tribes :-) in all rome wargames, pictures and movies you get to see lorica segmentata, because it looks cool. EVERYONE has red tunic and lorica segmentata. :D (segmentata was probably easier to manufacture, i would say. I'ts definitly not as tedius as rings
Narrator: "The Roman soldiers wore only sandals".. - Me: While almost all other were wearing bag-like "boots"... These sandals were a great part of the success that the Romans had back then. The most armies didn't fight at Winter, and if you look at a nap you'll see that the Roman empire was mostly in the Mediteranian - warm part of Eurasia/Africa, apart from Britannia, of course.
It was made from puffer fish. But I'm still trippin over the image of the mongol camp because they had muzzleloaders right that's why they were so deadly.
One thing that All of these sets of Armor teaches those who pay attention is that even if you had the best armor money could buy, there were always weaknesses that the enemy could exploit and there was always a weapon devised that could basically nullify the protection the Armor gave to its wearer. Full plate Armor from Medieval Europe was viewed as perhap armor that offered the most protection but also left them vulnerable to soldiers who were less weighed down by such heavy metal plate, and then the English Longbow came along with the Bodkin arrowhead, and suddenly Full plate was now a liability. As soon as you invent a good way to protect yourself someone else invents a way to get around it or use it to their advantage with a tactic not seen before. All of these Armor types had their day in the limelight and they did their job, some stayed in the limelight longer than others but all were eventually beaten by new tactics and new weapons designed to either get through or to use it against its wearer. The Roman Armor was beaten because it Didn't cover the wearers' feet and legs and the men were horribly injured to the point of being unable to fight anymore. Just ask the Germans who defeated them Sandals and Zero Leg protection was definitely the fall of the legions of Rome. The Japanese Armor was great at preventing cutting weapons from injuring the soldier, but were useless when dealing with bludgeoning weapons Which were not as prevalent in Japan because of their beliefs around the Sword being the soul of the Samurai, but if they had face a EUropean Army that used maces, mace and chains, iron war clubs, Sword breakers etc. including the English Long Bow with Bodkin arrow tips, they would fallen FAST! Japanese Armor worked well when facing another Japanese Army but WHen faced with other forms of COmbat they would have been crushed. Japan was incredibly lucky the the Mongols were wiped out by Tsunamis before they could establish a beachhead, because after that it would have been all over. And it was a good thing for the rest of the World as well, that the Mongol Horde Didn't conquer Japan because Japanese Metalworking technology would have made them even less beatable. The One thing I Loved about the Japan and Mongol encounters was just how more advanced the Japanese were when man was compare to man and their skills in combat were. Samurai were getting locals to row them out to the invading Ships in Harbor where the Samurai would simply Slaughter the MOngols, because without their horses and a massive group of them in a rampaging front or Horsemen, they were basically useless, and the Samurai would kill multiple dozens of Mongols onboard their ships before they could either be killed or evicted from the boat! Still brings a smile to my face every time I think about it. And it is too bad that the Mongols never had the occasion to encounter a group of Ninja who were spoiling for a fight! That would have been fun to watch! As is it there are numerous accounts of Samurai coming back to shore with a few heads as trophy for their exploits on the mongol ships. I haven't even touched on what the Vikings would have accomplished either!
Yes, jaguar were in the area for them to stylize and construct their look. One note: the pictured "jaguar" was, in fact, a cheetah . ;)
I was just about to comment on that, as i saw yours.
The images don't match the words in most of this video.. they were describing Immortal Persian soldiers using short swords, and the image was carrying an axe!
Yes, that was a cheetah..the editor may be a cheetah too! Lol
Exactly. The cheetah stands for agility but not exactly for strength. And it was unknown to the Aztecs.
Having made and worn the Lorica segmentata the real amazing thing about is how much flexibility and freedom of movement the set provides.
Ditto (bar making it) and it is in a way, like wearing a really heavy t-shirt.

First few minutes. Winged hussars. The thing that made them very efficient was the 20 foot lances that were hollow. An innovative and light weapon.
there were thousands of armors in the medieval times (...)

That's a cheetah, not a jaguar.
Very nice video
5:02 "Jaguar attire..... fearsome sight..."
Lolz not in this era.
How are you gonna open this video by talking about the thousands of armors out there, and then only showing 15? I want to see them all.
The tree of knowledge !
Why the Cheetah at 4:34 ?
Most of the time the romans used ordinary chainmail. They were way easier to repair on the field.
Thanks. Good vid.
Aztecs didn’t have borders we have today, and likely spread south
tlingit armour is pretty cool as well
Talking about Aztecs, showing the Mayan calendar 🙄
And they did wear armour. Could you do some basic research please?
大鎧 is beautiful
It really is
Tod from tod's workshop channel has a video where he tests arrows vs silk, the silk does absolutely nothing, the arrows go clean thrue it.
The silk didn't enter the wound, which helps to reduce infection. So it's useful, but stories were exagarrated over time.
Narrator: "The Roman soldiers wore only sandals".. - Me: While almost all other were wearing bag-like "boots"...
