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

Looks like some nobleman's kid owned the Crusader Church Action Playset and lost all the lead figurines.

holy shit thats fucking rad

i wish they'd deep scan it with an MRI, dump the structural data into the public domain, and then the 3d printing community could publish it as a kit of pieces you could print and assemble...

I wish that would happen for a great many pieces of antiquity, honestly.
