    A friend of mine (30yo) has really old parents (like 80yo i guess) and it seems that her grandparents also were “old parents” because she recently dropped rather casually : ‘Oh yeah, my grandfather fought in the boxer rebellion’ and that just blew my mind.

    If I do the math, yeah it tracks but still, it was her grandfather. For comparison, in my family the person alive during the boxer rebellion was my great grandfather and he was a child at that time, to have fought during that time it would’ve been my great great grandfather.

      Wow! I’m 54 and my great-grandparents would have been toddlers.

    But… Not one of them are brass knuckles, punch daggers, or even a roll of quarters. Thafuq, history? You lied to us all?!

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
