Body Armor, Or Simply Armor, Is Protective Clothing Worn To Shield The Body From Attacks. Armor Could

Body armor, or simply armor, is protective clothing worn to shield the body from attacks. Armor could be worn by warriors and used to protect their mounts. Armor serves this function by deflecting or absorbing the impact of weapons or projectiles.

The history of armor dates back to ancient civilizations. Evidence of armor can be found as early as 2050 BC during the Bronze Age.

Around 1500 BC, ancient civilizations began wearing armor made of bronze and leather. Chainmail armor appeared around 400 BC. Later on, plate armor came into use. With the development of firearms, traditional armor gradually declined and disappeared.

Tretia a štvrtá časť Bohatiera sú z veľkej časti o tom, že Koščej tají, čo vlastne robí, keď sa po nociach vytráca kamsi preč. A niekto sa zamyslel, ako by mohol reagovať knieža Svjatoslav, keby na to počas chazarského ťaženia prišiel.

Rus Byliny (plural) — oral epic poems in Kyivan and Novgorod Rus, counting more than 400 poems and mostly focusing on the semi-historic deeds of bogatyrs ("great warrior"). Despite common traits, they show a variety of themes, structure and dates of origin. The centerpiece is the most famous bogatyr trio — Ilya of Murom, Dobrynya Nikitich and Alyosha Popovitch with their respective antagonists, while the foreground focuses on much more archaic heroes — Svyatogor and Mikula Selyaninovitch. Heroes of that period inhabit almost a mythological world, and often posses chthonic traits themselves. Even by the time of the Boratyr Trio their stories centered on no longer belonging to the "modern" world.

Do I want to die in 8th century Tiber valley drowned by a flood, enslaved and forced to fight by Alba Longians or while trecking through forest with no resources (I'd have more luck as a female member of a forest village in which case I might hope to make it through until final battle at river bank)? Or do I want to die in post-civil-war 19th century arid southern states of USA amidst bandits and supernatural threats of undead and bloodthirsty kind (Also brothel ladies had poor working conditions back then and I wonder whether to be more worried about STDs or rough customers, so the safest would be Wetherill ranch, unless I am that one poor servant girl)?

That is the question.
