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

Hauling all the stone up that path musta been a royal pain in the dick.

Idk if it was a royal pain in the dick but you can be sure it was a peasant pain in the dick.

Imagine forgetting something at the store

You know some duke or Lord wanted it on of the highest peak, as a flex. Then spent the next 20 years getting grief from his wife .
