    Emphasis on the ‘decorative/ceremonial’. Those things are so large as to be unusable, lmao.

      No, no, this is serious evidence that people back then were at least 15 ft tall.

        Careful, some people quite literally still believe in giants.

      “It was too big to be called a sword… Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Indeed, it was like a heap of raw iron.”

    It’s 2 AM. They’re all sitting around the fire at the castle, drinking ungodly amounts of home-made Pálinka.

    Zoltán slaps János on the back, says: “I have a crazy idea!”

    “What?”

    “You know how that Gábor is always bragging about his Nagyapa’s big sword and how easy it is to swing around with one hand?”

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.
