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

Photos of the past should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world
I read an awesome wiki post on here that referenced ancient bird oracles. I thought it was roman times but seems this could be older reference. They even had a fancy name like "avianoracle" but cooler. Basically they used to watch birds and then make future plans/divinations on which birds they saw.
Augury (general term for divination, but originally birds) or ornithomancy?
