    Fun Fact! Panel doors like this wouldn’t re-emerge in Europe for centuries after Rome’s fall. Panel doors resist warping better than doors made just out of straight boards.

    Yet it just looks like a normal door to us. Strange how pieces of the past can seem so modern, and how many things we take as normal are innovations of one sort or another.

      It’s crazy to me that that design is that old!

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.
