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]

Can only imagine what it must have been like, traveling the silk road during the 13th century, staying a night at the Caravanserai of Obruk Han. I wonder how many dropped treasures lie at the bottom of the sinkhole 🤔

It's wild what archeologists find and where they find them. Ancient garbage dumps, down drainage pipes, bricked up behind walls - people lose things everywhere. The more things change, the more they stay the same, right?
