History Ruins

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

Years ago, I used to live quite close and would go often. Lots of goths carefully considering jet jewellery

Maybe pre-steampunk-gear days

(I’m bluffing…I have absolutely no idea what that means!).

I mean like top hats, eccentric goggles, steam-powered tech, what a comic book hot air balloon pilot might look like. You know it when you see it! also lots of goth! I only visited for a day.
