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

Agreed. Good question! Were the 5x-lifesize ones trying to compensate? Beyond my pay-grade! Haven't ever seen one, and haven't seen much actual data on these figures. (Maybe Zawi's got that cornered!)
