Publish Not your original work? Add source The lessons of the past aren't just written in history books and brittle, yellowing scrolls-they're also worked into the art and architecture we appreciate, whether it's in our beloved museums, protected sites in the Great Outdoors, or splendidly photographed and posted on our favorite social network. It's vital to know the past of your country and humanity as a whole because it helps grow your appreciation for just how civilization has changed over the millennia and who we as a society are in that historic context. This very same link to the past also provides a ton of insights into how aesthetics, and our understanding of it, evolved. The 'Archeology and Art' Instagram page provides the opportunity to take a closer look at some of the most impressive historical locations, works of art, jewelry, and artifacts that archeologists have uncovered. Scroll down to start your deep dive into history and all of its beauty, Pandas. Remember to upvote your fave photos, and be sure to let us know which ones impressed you the most. Do we have any archeologists in the house today? We'd love to hear more about your job and your amazing finds, so drop by the comment section. Bored Panda got in touch with financial expert Sam Dogen, the author of 'Buy This, Not That: How to Spend Your Way to Wealth and Freedom' and the founder of the 'Financial Samurai' blog, for a chat about art and other investments, as well as what people see as potential stores of value. This post may include affiliate links. #1

View more comments "Investing in physical goods is only going to get more popular over time. More people want to enjoy their investments instead of merely making money on them. Historically, the best way people could enjoy their investments was through real estate. There's nothing better than making great memories in your home and then watching it go up in value as well," Sam, from 'Financial Samurai,' told Bored Panda. "Now, more money is going into art, jewelry, fine watches, collectible sports cards, and rare books to enjoy. As an author, I'm a big believer in collecting rare books with signatures because the pandemic throttled in-person signing events for two years. As a result, there is a lower supply of books and other memorabilia with signatures, which makes them more valuable. There will likely be a continued structurally lower supply of collectibles with signatures for years to come," he explained what some people might choose to invest in as a store of value. #2

View more comments According to Sam, the author of 'Buy This, Not That,' investing in fine art makes sense, financially. "But it can't be any piece of art. You have to invest in promising emerging artists or established artists with limited pieces of artwork. There's also a big difference between the original artwork and the prints," he told Bored Panda. "Again, as society as a whole builds more wealth, we want to better enjoy our money instead of just letting it accumulate in a brokerage account or bank account. The pandemic has taught us life is short and we must enjoy each and every day to the fullest," Sam said. "Enjoying the fine art on our walls that could also go up in value is a great combination. There's a reason why many of the wealthiest people in the world are avid art collectors. In fact, not only do I invest in fine art, I also make my own art! The cost is minimal and it's enjoyable to create. Who knows, maybe my original art pieces might be worth a lot to my children one day." #4

View more comments The 'Archeology and Art' social media project currently has 65.2k loyal fans who can't wait to unearth the freshest historical finds. The Instagram page gives a pretty good overview of just how varied and impressive art from the ancient world really was. Generally speaking, many people assume that progress is linear and that someone living in 2022 is far smarter/skilled/more capable than someone, say, living a few centuries or even thousands of years ago. Seeing the quality of the craftsmanship and the architecture of the past should help you understand that human beings are not necessarily 'better' than their ancestors. Art historian Mary McGillivray, from Melbourne, previously explained to Bored Panda during an interview that art and art history aren't as unapproachable as many people might think. "A lot of people think that art history is very serious and very important and this leads to them feeling overwhelmed-or even feeling like art history isn't for them. This isn't true! I've said it before and I'll say it again, art history is just old memes. Once we start to see the humor and the humanity in art, it becomes far less intimidating," she said that there's often a more lighthearted side to it all. #7

View more comments The folks running the r/AskHistorians subreddit really know their stuff when it comes to history. One of the moderators told Bored Panda that having a healthy dose of skepticism is essential, especially when evaluating historical facts that get posted on social media. First of all, you have to take a closer look at the source that's sharing the info. Is it reliable? Can you cross-check the historical 'facts?' These are some of the things that you should ask yourself while browsing, well, pretty much anything. The more important a historical event or period, the more likely it is that someone may try to exploit it to "push a political point in the present day." #28
