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

This gives me an idea for a fort. Make surrounding roads, plateau, spaces perfectly suited for archers or canons but with like rocks and rows of dirt between them all and then rotate the fort plan in the center of it all 45 degrees so all of the shots deflect off the walls.

I call it "Banjo's Gamble Fortress".
