It has been suggested that it was Connolly again that introduced this theory,but in greece there is a long tradition in some places for making masks used in traditional ceremonies with armoured men wearing masks made of glued linen. The tradition has its roots in paganism.Probably not relavent to glued linen either. A case can be made that linen was never used to make these masks at all. They are just as likely to have been a type of "papier mache"
I don't think it might be very relevant to armour though.
Sure, both are nice theories. Could be either.
