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 [email protected]

Illustrations of the past should go to [email protected]

Photos of the past should go to [email protected]

It's so incredible to me that we can see this 1000 years later. That's so long I can hardly fathom it!

Was it carved, molded, or what? It's pretty crooked. Maybe an altar boy dropped it 500 years ago.

Yes, I've seen artifacts on this sub that were 1000 years older and looked 100 times better!

Exactly. I mean, it's way better than I could do, to be sure, but if I were the king or whatever that commissioned this I would request a refund.
