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]

That megalithic Atlantic culture fascinates me. When you start to look at the number and scale of the various monuments and earthworks and realise that they are at a landscape level! It looks like people moved around a lot too and sometimes at great numbers for seasonal events. I'd love to be able to see with my own eyes what it was like.
