A 1.8mm plate made with 8.7 density bronze measuring 45cm x 45 cm weighs around 3.17kg. How come your plate only weighed 2.49 kg? Did you not use bronze or were your scales defective? If we can't trust this figure then how can we trust the rest?
Good to see at least someone is out there testing all the densities of 'proper' bronze from the ancient world. And it would do no good to continue on since, as evidenced from previous topics, you are never wrong. The bronze we used weighed what it weighed. And while so many sit in a chair in their computer room and type away furiously, others go out and actually do something. If you disagree with the armor, write a book about it. That's what I did -- it's quite popular.
