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

You are not murdering women to make perfumes are you?

It has to be done.

My first thought too. I learned everything I know about perfume from that movie. Also most amazing ending to a movie ever

It’s also a book, and a good one.

It's a very strange movie. One of my favorites.
