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

Good luck finding a blessed weapon to stop this dickhead from just respawning.
Talk about a breastplate!
No wonder they died .... that armor exposed the most vulnerable parts
Jokes aside, he was allegedly beheaded as a martyr at fourteen and never wore armor in life.
Well that's his own fault then. That collar looks like it might have helped prevent a beheading. Teens, smh.
Yeah but that st pancras' skull is on a church in Rome
Artfully stated.
I've decided how I want to be "buried."
That's metal as fuck
Where do they keep the skeleton of St. Spleen?
The patron saint of insulin.
Looks like something out of WH40K.
Does that particular armor and/or sword have some significance?

To look cool
If you like this you might like Joel Peter Wittkin. I grew up Catholic. So I'm used to looking at relics and dead people and shit. So I think you'd like this photographer. And if people are bothered by the photographer and his subject matter, then why do Catholics get away with it?
