A Complete Suit of Armor Found at Spanish Castle
ARCHAEOLOGISTS FROM ARBOTANTE PATRIMONIO E INNOVACIÓN SL HAVE UNCOVERED A COMPLETE SUITE OF ARMOUR DURING EXCAVATIONS AT THE CASTILLO DE MATILLA DE LOS CAÑOS DEL RÍO NEAR SALAMANCA, SPAIN.
The castle was previously thought to have been constructed following the Arab conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, which became part of Umayyad Caliphate around AD 711–732. However, very little is known about the history of the castle, with sources indicating that it was destroyed on the orders of Ferdinand II of Aragon in AD 1505.
The castle ruins are located north of the village of Matilla de los Caños del Río on a small hill at a strategic position overlooking the flat plains below.
Archaeologists from the Arbotante patrimonio e innovación SL have been conducting ongoing excavations since early 2023, revealing the layout of the castle interior and exterior walls. The team have identified the possible gateway entrance, a cistern, circular towers, and an armoury containing the remains of weapons and pieces of armour.
According to the researchers, the archaeological evidence contradicts the historical narrative as they’ve found no evidence of Arab occupation or related architectural elements.
The team have also discovered a complete suit of armour which dates from the 16th century. The armour consists of almost 50 pieces and was found alongside a crossbow and a knife.
Speaking to Salamanca24horas, archaeologist Iván García Vázquez, said: “The armour has all its functional pieces, it consists of a helmet, breastplate, trellis, elbow pads, greaves and other protections for arms and legs.”
Excavations also revealed numerous crossbow bolts, some of which have a socketed head almost square in cross section that was mainly used against armour, in addition to spike points that was used to penetrate chain mail. Also found among the ammunition cache are pieces of bolaño, a type of stone cannonball also known as “stoneshot”.

I recently noticed the Ancient Gear used for both human soldiers and horses kind of dehumanizes/dehorsemanizes(?) their wearers by hiding their eyes and replacing them with a single creepy Guardian robot eye/two expressionless Divine Beast eyes.
It’s…well… I mean, sure, the gear “optimizes” you/your horse to be as efficient at your assigned task as possible, but…it feels like there’s this insistence that everything must be a machine. You can’t just be an inefficient old human/horse. You must be “perfect.” You must perform your designated function as perfectly as if you were a robot and not a flesh-and-blood creature.
Does that unsettle anyone else?

Here is an additional collection of pictures of Sheikah Slate or no, and of many different gloves, gauntlets, bracers, bandages or just bare wrist and hands. You can find the first set of pictures here.

In celebration of the upcoming Avatar series I made three illustrations depicting key characters. Here is Sokka, the boomerang wielding warrior from the Southern Water Tribe.
Please let me know what you think and if you are going to watch the show!
