I read a few things on the homepage, claiming things which are are not exactly up to date with the academic discourse. E.g. the description of "pattern-welding" is IMO nonsense.
Are we still talking about helmets? If we are now talking about swords, then I would suggest your "academic discourse" is the real nonsense here. I know for a fact (and have seen) Dioskouri has a relic sword (xyphos) and it clearly shows (under magnified view) layering of the iron on the edge, indicating a folding of the metal (pattern welding).
