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]

Passports nowadays are weak-willed bullshit. This is a real Chad passport

Back then when you hauled passport, you know you hauled passport.

I think this is what’s called a “Gereg”.

As a side note, there’s an excellent song by the Mongolian metal band, The Hu, called “The Gereg” that I highly recommend
