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

What happened there? Americans? Russians? Hippies?
The cruel and inexorable passage of time, and civil war. Also probably the classic human tradition of scavenging from old buildings for material during periods of intense construction.
