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 [email protected]

Illustrations of the past should go to [email protected]

Photos of the past should go to [email protected]

It‘s crazy to think that you could fill the six smaller bottles with the content of the biggest bottle and still have some leftovers.

Impossible. First thing you need to do is fill the biggest botle, but to do that you have to go to the store.
To get to the store you have to reach half the distance, and the reach half the distance remaining, and then....

But how fast was the glass traveling

As fast as the air velovelocity of an unladen swallow.

Calm down, Xeno.

Let's commission a glassblower to make more bottles, each half the size of the previous one, until there are enough to store all the contents. We should negotiate a lump sum payment ahead of time, I think.
