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
I'm just trying to imagine having to bend that thing all the way back around to string it, and I'm already feeling the frustration.
I know there's probably a technique for it, using your legs to trap it or something, but that's still gotta be a wrestling match.
edit: This was bugging me enough that I had to google it:
Stringing starts around halfway through the vid. Two legs and what looks like arm strength is the key, where a longbow uses one leg and more of your torso.
