Maybe you should actually read it before criticising it. There is a section on that site called "Recent Developments". Up until a year ago this page accumulated all the best research on this subject, the majority of which was NOT written by the authors of CoD. The papers themselves are not there but the summaries are pretty detailed and give a very good overview. IMO it is the best site on the internet that is not paywalled.

I think I'll be "borrowing" orichalcum from GURPS Fantasy. I don't like weapons that won't break (as in Dungeon Fantasy) - rather, orichalcum weapons have +2 HT (I use "the dull blade" for weapon breakage). +29 CF.

Armor made from orichalcum have half weight and double DR. +29 CF.

Fauxgyptian name for orichalcum is Hursurud, from two afro-asiatic words meaning "mountain" and "copper".
