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.

I think it's fascinating as a written language - zooming in you can see so many . . not sure what the technical term is for them, but additional lines in a word that must indicate something - like making an entire written symbolic language out of the letter "D".
Yea! I've skimmed through a cuneiform dictionary and saw so many words that made me wonder how anyone could possibly sight-read it without accidentally mistaking things haha.
And now I wonder if it was sight read? Considering how sensitive our fingertips are, maybe reading it like braille would've made sense...
