      That’s what stirred in my brain too - possibly connected to Siberia? Where have we all heard this from?

          Maybe. Thanks. The mention of surrealists didn’t seem like news to me either so, yeah.

          I hope this doesn’t end-up like the “8 spiders” urban myth where all references eventually trace back to a single original online article with no supporting evidence.

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
