We get mention of mail and of helmets, I'd assume that they were not wearing articulated plate armor analagous to high medieval harness or whatever, I'd guess they're supposed to be similar to early medieval Anglo-Saxons.
However the guy is being retarded because Conan is also pretty sparse with detail and uses neologisms all over the place. What does "Plate" mean, like milanese plate harness, or something like the the Dendra Panoply? "Plate" is a very loose terminology. Brigandine and scale are also mentioned, but what does that mean? Brigandine isn't some ancient word, it's an Italian term for a relatively modern kind of armor that is clearly being used as a neologism in Conan to describe some sort of fabric-covered armor of connected plates, which is an idea that dates back to the bronze age.
Why would you assume that prehistoric armor development followed the same track in Lemuria that it did in medieval Europe? It certainly didn't go that direction in China, or Persia. Anon just has autisme and has forgotten that armor and weapons technology were not linear tech trees, but rather a series of design and engineering fashions which moved in and out of style, or labor availability/shortages made certain armors easier to source
