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

Yeah, it's definitely more comfy than those old bronze soles!
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.
M-m-m-oney
Yet a pair of Nike's doesn't even last a year.
Well to be fair these probably weren’t made with child labor
I think the odds are quite good that they were.
Remind me of
Esparto sandals from the 6th or 5th millennium BC found in Spain
The oldest known footwear was found less than 150mi from Univ. of Oregon, where Nike was initially developed? Iiiiiinteresting.
Looking fresh, ngl. Need em for the collection
