Historical Artifacts

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world

Illustrations of the past should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

Fun fact! Because Hangul was created and didn't naturally evolve out of Hanja, it's one of the easiest and most logical alphabets to learn. I could teach you the whole alphabet in 20 minutes and have you sounding out whole sentences in an hour or two.

I taught myself how to read and write in a university lecture but, obviously, didn't know the vocabulary to actually understand it.
