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

They are in different orientations right?

The real shot should rotate 90 to the left to match the reproduction?

Yeah, looks like the angles don't match up.

Wish I knew more about what was in the middle part. Surely all those walls weren’t just made to protect empty space (obviously protecting the bossman is the real answer but still)
