Historical Artifacts

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

Wait till you see their architecture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umayyad_architecture
Oh wow! So much intricacy, in structure and the mosaics. I'm wondering if these are also victims of so. Much! war. It feels disrespectful to wonder when so much human life has been wontonly wasted, but I do.
Thank you for showing me.
