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]

That’s what stirred in my brain too - possibly connected to Siberia? Where have we all heard this from?

Maybe. Thanks. The mention of surrealists didn’t seem like news to me either so, yeah.

I hope this doesn’t end-up like the “8 spiders” urban myth where all references eventually trace back to a single original online article with no supporting evidence.

It is. I remember seeing this somewhere, and bear-deterrent was the stated purpose.
