According to that logic there hasn't been any sort of advance then.
Every modern armor is just a refinement of previous technologies. Kevlar
weave instead of cotton or linen. Plates of high-density ceremic instead
of metal. I'm pretty sure if you held up a flak vest it would register
as armor with our ancient counterparts.
