Historical Artifacts

1053 readers
121 users here now

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

The mix of BCE and AD hurts my brain. It’s either BC/AD (before christ and anno domini) or BCE/CE (before common era and common era), depending on how religious or secular you are. Please do pedants like myself a favour and don’t mix 'em.

If you're very religious you'll probably use AC/AD, but of you're very secular you're more likely into AC/DC

Don't forget AC, after christ. Which is what I use.

AC is before (Ante) christ in Latin and therefore in many historical records. I think you'll save yourself from confusion if you stopped using it to mean after christ ;)

The dating feels like it might've originally been Han dynasty, which then got translated into exact years for those unfamiliar with Chinese dynasties.

It's like someone saw the cucumber eye things and decided to try it on their whole body, but with pickles.
