Abstract

This research aims to explore the reinterpretation of ancient artifacts in a modern context. Artifacts are often considered objects that have only historical and cultural value. However, in terms of modern contexts, ancient artifacts can have broad and complex meanings. This data collection method prioritizes the research of ancient artifacts with various materials through the results of the study of literature sources in the form of journals, articles, books related to the reinterpretation of ancient artifacts in the modern context. The results of the study show that ancient artifacts can have different meanings in modern contexts, such as as a symbol of identity, a source of inspiration and as an educational tool. Ancient artifacts have captivated the human imagination for centuries, harboring mystery and wisdom from the distant past. From the ancient civilizations of Egypt to the magnificent Mayans, these artifacts are silent witnesses of the long journey of human civilization.
