Date, historical event and historical period
Este obxeto data do principio do século vinte. O evento histórico no que se engloba este obxeto é a segunda revolución industracional, no que a agricultura se comezou a mecanizar coa chegada de instrumentos agrarios. O periódo histórico é o da idade contemporánea.

Explanation of the object
En canto ao valor histórico do obxeto: O arado sachadora tiña a función de axudar durante a época de colleita, facilitando o corte e recolección do trigo e/ou outros cereais. O seu funcionamento consistía en, coa axuda de animais, comunmente vacas, que facían a función de animal de carga da máquina, empurrándo o arado sachadora sobre o cereal, cunha persoa suxeitando o arado sachadora para que o rumbo desta non se desviase e, coas súas coitelas metálicas, esta máquina xa se encargaba de cortar o trigo, cunha persoa téndoa que recoller despois da corta de cereal, transpasándoo a un hórreo para o seu almacenamento. A invención desta máquina aforraba tempo e diminuía o esgotamento físico que sufrían os campesiños, xa que en lugar de ter que cortar todo o cereal eles mismos, agora sótiñan que asegurarse que a máquina empurrada por animais, comunmente vacas, seguía o camiño de forma recta. Aínda que cada vez máis común, na época este tipo de maquinaria seguía a ser moi custosa, polo que entre campesiños dunha mesma aldea (xa que esta clase social non se caracterizaba por ter grandes riquiezas) era común que non todos dispuxeran dunha propia, polo que era habitual que nunha mesma aldea ou se turnasen os arados sachadora entre campesiños por días ou a familia que si disponía dunha sachadora na casa sachase tamén as leiras de outros campesiños que se atopasen cerca da súa. A día de hoxe este tipo de arado sachadoras xa non son utilizadas para esta labor xa que existen tractores con sachadoras moito máis eficientes que as manuais/empurradas por animais, pero naquela época esta máquina supuso un gran avance para a agricultura e a vida dos campesiños, xa que, xunto outro tipo de maquinaria agraria, facilitaba a súa labor no campo.
En canto o valor patrimonial: o punto máis alonxado no que podemos ubicar este obxeto na miña familia son os meus bisavós, aínda que hai posibilidade de que sexa anterior xa que non sabemos con exactitude quen a comprou, polo que só sabemos a xeración máis antiga en empregala que si coñecemos. Despois dos nosos bisavós o herdeiro desta ferramenta agraria foron os meus avós, que a continuaron utilizando para o campo ata que, despois de certo ano esta ferramenta deixouse de utilizar para esta labor e decibiron gardala no desván da casa ata hai uns 10-12 anos, cado os meus pais a levaron a unha tenda de restauración e logo a repintar, aínda que hoxe en día xa non cumpre a súa función orixinal, xa que en lugar de usala para o campo, acabou converténdse nun elemento decorativo.

Name of the object

The Cid's Sword

Image of yourself and the object

Date, historical event and historical period
This object is a replica of the sword of the Cid (medieval period)

Explanation of the object
This sword was passed from generation to generation (only of men) in all my family, since the father of my great-grandfather was born, until now, which belongs to my father. The sword in the photo is original, only that being very old is very rusty, and you cannot see most of the engravings.
The sword is made of steel, although it can no longer be appreciated because, as I said before, after so many years it has rusted.
This sword has a lot of sentimental value for my father and my whole family since this sword was given to my father when he was 15 years old, and they will give it to my brother when he also fulfills them.
It is a replica of the sword of the Cid, called Colada del Cid. This is an original replica of the original. Let's say you have a "sister"; named Tizona.
The name cast comes from cast steel, a steel that owes the appearance of its surface when braking, which this type of steel began to be used in the Middle Ages.
Another thing that I have learned is that it was cast steel, which is what the sword is made of, and the name of its successor Tizona.

Date, historical event and historical period
The console Nintendo DK-52 was released in 1982 and the Super 8 Cinexin was released in1983. Both of them are famous toys of the 80s among the kids.

Explanation of the object
Nintendo DK-52: this console belongs to the Game & Watch series of Nintendo. These consoles, more known in Spain as "maquinitas", are currently very difficult to obtain, and are considered historical pieces and collector's items. Donkey Kong is the adaptation of the famous recreational classic to the Game & Watch format, as a Multi Screen title where the action unfolds on two screens located vertically one obove the other one. This serie is one of the more famous one due to that this consoles had two screens; the game occurs in both of them.

Super 8 Cinexin: this toy it's a second version of the original one, the Cinexin. The Cinexin was a little projector made of a very resistant plastic. It was very famous because the kid could choose the speed and the direction of the movie, deciding if he wanted to play forwards or backwards. The new version of it, the Super 8 Cinexin was blue instead of orange and it sought to rectify some shortcomings of the original version.

My parents told me that these two toys were the wish of all kid in their time. They spent a lot of time watching mini movies and playing video games with their toys. The one I still having in my house it's my dad's one but my mum told me that she also had another one but of the first version, the orange one, and she share it with al her siblings. There were two revolutionary toys that mixed technology and entertainment to make them perfect.
