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@lemmy.world
Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

I was there a couple of months back, amazing place
What's with the huge slope in front of the walls?
I was wondering why they built them like that too. Seems like you're encouraging invaders to come over the walls
Later additions called a glacis, ita hardened rammed earth with stone over it in most cases and it's used to deflect cannon balls away from the walls.
Did you see the giant city sized nuclear reactor while you were there?
