What is a ruin? We're running off of "You know it when you see it" at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like. Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to HistoryArtifacts@kbin.social Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to HistoryDrawings@kbin.social Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

I hope to visit, someday! It's incredible what history is there - and how much has survived.

Definitely take your time when you plan a trip, we went there for a week and by the end we were literally running from place to place to cram everything we wanted to see in our remaining time. Also, unless you really don't mind the heat, avoid the busiest and hottest months of summer. Spring and early autumn are amazing though.
