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

So 10 000 years of development and we've still not managed to make a pair that doesn't disintegrate in a summer or two?

You can't really make a pair of shoes that won't break down, since the nature of soles is that they take a beating. Instead good quality shoes are repairable.
