The Swedish History Museum holds a large collection of bones of various kinds, including human remains. We living humans are both appalled by and attracted to visible evidence of death. The scanned human remains presented on Sketchfab from our museum are important museum artefacts, chosen because they represent a specific historical event. They also represent one of humanity’s worst acts: violence towards other humans. It is therefore our wish that you, as a viewer, use the 3D-models with respect. 

The image shows a human cranium with injuries on its left and front side. A small, square hole above the left eye and on the left cheek bone was probably caused by a pole weapon or a battle axe. The gash across the mouth could have been caused by a sword or a thin bladed axe.The cranium is one of several thousand artifacts found in a mass grave outside Visby on the island Gotland. All remains and objects found on the site stem from a battle between Gotlandic peasants and Danish mercenaries on 27 July 1361.

Unlike my mass-produced Ancient Khajiit armor, this badboy is an end-game, high-tier armor set, made with the mightiest metal, worked by the best blacksmiths, to be worn by the nobility of Roscrea. So I made the set in a way that players can wear it with pride... and hopefully flexing it on their friends next Monday morning.
Although our modern interpretation of the Vikings claims that they were no pretty boys, my study of Vendel period art says otherwise. According to many archaeological evidences, these pillagers took very good care of their appearance and hygiene, wear vibrant color palette and exquisite jewelry, and were capable of producing some of the most intricate art in contrary to popular belief.
     With that knowledge, I took certain liberties to gild certain part of the armor in gold and added some more intricate engravings. It was fun maintaining the balance between the elegance of nobility and the ruggedness of Skyrim’s Nordic populace.

This reconstuction of Gresham Castle is entirely speculative and is based on evidence from the Paston Letters and other documents of the time. No archaeological evidence is available other than the standing remains of the walls.

The documentary evidence shows that the house was a timber framed building and resembled a typical four bay construction of the period with a central hall and chambers either side.

It is unclear whether the walls and towers belong to the fortifications made by Sir Edmund Bacon or are the result of a major rebuild by the Pastons following the siege of 1448.

[**Museum Village Düppel**](https://bit.ly/3q58lnq) is a seasonal open-air museum. It presents visitors with a reconstruction of an approximately 800-year-old village. The site of this former settlement has now been reconstructed with residences, storehouses, workshops, fields and gardens.

1967 marked the start of archaeological excavations in southwest Berlin. They revealed evidence of building foundations and farmyards of a village from the period just before 1200. Thanks to experimental archaeology, it was possible to rebuild the medieval village on the settlement’s original site. The village has developed into a widely recognised centre for experimental archaeology.

This skull is a composite reconstruction of the *Homo erectus* specimen recovered from the cave of Zhoukoudian near Beijing, China. Peking Man is an East Asian subspecies of *Homo erectus* that evolved into modern Han Chinese. This fossil was discovered in 1923 during excavations in Zhoukoudian cave system outside of Beijing. This skull is dated to around 750000 years old and represents an important lineage of humans, helping modern scientists explain the range expansion of *Homo erectus* and the modern human populations of China. Along with the skull, researchers also found evidence of tool usage and fire construction, which supports the idea that *Homo erectus* was the first hominid to use tools.

Dieses Gebäude wurde von archäologischen Erkenntnissen unterschiedlicher prähistorischer Hauspläne inspiriert. Es handelt sich um ein prähistorisches Grubenhaus mit drei Kuppelöfen zum Backen von Brot. Die Werkstätte wurde von einem eisenzeitlichen Rundhaus mit einem zentralen Pfosten überdacht.

This building was inspired by archaeological evidence from various prehistoric house plans. It is a prehistoric pit house with three domed ovens for baking bread. The workshop was covered by an Iron Age round house with a central post.

Third-century CE Buddha from Gandhara, now in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

From the sculpture's description on artsmia.org: 

"This sculpture is from Gandhara, a cosmopolitan historical region in present-day northwest Pakistan. Much has been said about Gandharan art’s close affinities with Greek and Roman art, evidenced by the flowing folds of robes and chiseled facial features."

The Registan was the heart of the ancient city of Samarkand of the Timurid Empire. It consists of the Ulugh Beg Madrasah (1417–1420), the Sher-Dor Madrasah (1619–1636), and the Tilya-Kori Madrasah (1646–1660)

Samarqand, is a city in southeastern Uzbekistan and among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Central Asia. There is evidence of human activity in the area of the city from the late Paleolithic Era, but the city itself was fully established by the 8 cnetury BCE.  Prospering from its location on the Silk Road between China and Europe, at times Samarkand was one of the largest cities of Central Asia. The city was conquered by Alexander the Great in 329 BCE, when it was known as Markanda

“All Hallows by the Tower is the oldest church in the City of London and was founded by the Abbey of Barking in 675AD, 300 years before the Tower of London. An arch from the Saxon church can still be seen today. In the crypt beneath is a second century Roman pavement, discovered in 1926, evidence of city life on this site for nearly two thousand years.”

Roman Bridge, Deer Street, Piercebridge. These are remains of a bridge which once led to Piercebridge Roman Fort. The bridge consisted of at least 5 piers but the northern end has not been discovered despite an intensive search. As the river course moved northwards the southern end became supported by debris left by river floods and the piers were robbed and replaced by a causeway in the early 2nd century AD, dating evidence for which is a coin of Hadrian and early 2nd century pottery. This site is now in the care of English Heritage (2011).

Treasure Chest Challenge Entry:

**The Treasure is Knowledge**

*Deep beneath a planet wiped clean of life and its evidence eons ago, the collected knowledge of a thousand worlds lies waiting in AI vaults cared for by the last of their servants.*

*These key servants navigate the vacuum of the vaults continuing to unlock, repair, update, and backup the treasured data until in some distant future the last of the power is exhausted and the treasure fades forever.*


These challenges are so much fun!
