Each part of this suit of armor is perfectly nested on another part, and no gaps can be found, which has attracted the attention of NASA.
This exquisite armor is currently kept in the Royal Armory. The owner of the armor is King Henry VIII of England.
The whole set of armor is made of steel, using luxurious gold and silver and carving techniques. The most surprising thing is that each part of this armor is perfectly nested on another part, and no gaps can be found. For many experts, it is incredible that this can be done without using welding technology. It is this that caught the attention of NASA.
1962, NASA was developing a new spacesuit, and a team of them came to the Royal Armory to study Henry VIII's "space armor" carefully.
This suit of armor was born in 14 and 15 centuries. At that time, Europe had just developed the technology of forging arc metal, and this kind of integrated armor with stronger protection effect was quite popular. Compared with chain mail, Scales and Miscellaneous Armor, this plate armor has higher cost and more defensive advantages. Well-made plate armour is a nightmare for spears and bows.
