The map was made for Roger, king of Sicily. The red lines are trade routes. This is a reproduction kept in UAE's Sharjah Museum.

Captains wife: Just find a harbour and ask for directions.

Captain: no, it's just 2 islands over I'm sure

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
