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

Roman ruins in Algeria are so damn cool. I went last year and was blown away

Man, I'm jealous! To be able to see such a massive chunk of history like that... I imagine it's awe-inspiring.

Such mixed feelings!

How impressive, initially, but also how creepy and forboding. Thousands of people used to be right there!

Very solemn, I would imagine. What a history the world has!
