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 [email protected]

Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to [email protected]

Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to [email protected]

It is hard to convey how fucking high up in the mountains these complexes are.

It’s odd how European this looks. What are these giant step like things for? Clearly they can accommodate handling water runoff. So either agriculture or transportation?
