Historical Artifacts

531 readers
185 users here now

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

This suit looks loose but the extra space was needed to accommodate the enormous set of balls it required to sink into the ocean in that thing.

Historians don't like telling people this, but they were primarily used as gimp suits to keep tensions from rising on the ship.
