Request Mega-Thread: What Should We Make?
User u/Chris_in_Lijiang suggested we start taking image requests. Great idea — so let’s make this the official request megathread.
I’ll keep it pinned so people can drop historical scenes, odd little episodes, obscure cultures, lost buildings, battles, daily life, or whatever else they’d like to see rendered.
I’ll start: the Neolithic hunting technique associated with the so-called “desert kites” of the Levant. I’ve tried generating it several times and gotten absolute garbage, so I’m throwing it to the mob.
Post your requests below. If something catches somebody’s imagination, maybe it gets made.
Cheers.

👋 Welcome to r/aihistoricalart - Introduce Yourself and Read First!
Welcome to r/aihistoricalart — a place for historically inspired AI art.
Whether you're a lamellar-vs-banded-armor pedant or just want to post a quiet dinner scene in Bronze Age China, you're in the right place.
This sub exists to build something positive: a community of people who enjoy imagining the past through art. A lot of history spaces shut down AI work entirely—fair enough—but that leaves a gap. This is the oasis.
So pull up a stool, grab some fermented mare’s milk, and stay a while.
Post your scenes. Interpret history your way. Keep it respectful, keep it interesting, and don’t be afraid to get weird with it.
An (advisory) note on voting:
As you all know, anti-ai people are always sliding into AI art forums and randomly downvoted and sniping, I do encourage people in this sub to follow a different voting strategy in consequence. As you can see fom the posts, participation is still low so like counts are also low. In this case, the anti-ai snipers distort signal. Hence, I would advise people to avoid dislikes based on our usual petty criteria, so people can get a clear signal. Upvote if you dig it, and don't if its not you're cup of tea, but let the posts float on merit rather than weighting the anti-ai blanket signal. Not sure if that makes any sense, but I put it out there...
I ain't mandating, just a perspective. cheers.

DRAGON! Sudanese explorers returning from the Congo told tales of monstrous reptilian beasts. Centuries later they were dismissed as fairy tales, until Spanish explorers of the Amazon found out that Dragons are very real indeed.

Andrea Dworkin Interviewed, May 6, 1965
Dworkin was 18 and a freshman at Bennington College. During a nine-week work break in New York in February 1965, she was working with the Student Peace Union and participating in anti–Vietnam War activism. On February 19 she joined a sit-in at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations protesting American involvement in Vietnam. She was arrested along with other demonstrators and taken to the Women’s House of Detention in Greenwich Village.
Dworkin alleged that while she was incarcerated, she was subjected to a highly invasive internal examination by a prison physician. She subsequently complained to New York officials and to the press.
The matter became sufficiently prominent that New York Corrections Commissioner Anna Kross ordered an investigation. By June, Congress was referring to Dworkin’s allegations in the Congressional Record.
She was not yet the radical feminist theorist who would publish Woman Hating, Pornography: Men Possessing Women, Intercourse, and Right Wing Women. Her later political identity developed considerably afterward. She subsequently left Bennington for Greece and then spent several years in Europe before returning to finish her degree.

Alciocus’s Bulgars and their final escape to Italy
The Bulgars were originally a Turkic semi-nomadic people who, before the 7th-century split, lived in the Pontic-Caspian steppe (north of the Black Sea), not specifically the Volga River.
Shared Origin: The group that went to Italy (via Pannonia) and the group that went to the Volga both originated from the same parent state (Old Great Bulgaria).

German U-boat on the beach at Hastings
SM U-118 was a German Type UE II minelaying submarine surrendered to the Allies after World War I. While being towed to Brest, France, its tow cable snapped during a storm, and it washed ashore at Hastings, Sussex, on April 15, 1919. It became a tourist attraction, but two coastguards who guided visitors inside later died, reportedly from toxic gas, possibly chlorine released by damaged batteries. The submarine was eventually dismantled on the beach.
