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

Wow, the engineering on that scaffolding must've been pretty interesting.
Essentially cantilivered loads but balanced by the opposing side.
I'd love to see a 3D graphic of it from an oblique angle - like a CAD wireframe.
The building likely has put holes for scaffolding, most older stone buildings do for pointing and service.
Oh, cool, TIL!
