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

I'm glad it does. Where else would it go?

Stones from ruined buildings are often recycled into new structures.

Why quarry new stones when there’s a big pile right over there?

nice word play

for us non-natives

remains => ruins
ostatci => ostatci

Thanks for clarification - I realize my post can be rather confusing for some people 😅

sorry if intrusive
it's just that I had to sit for a while to remember the word ruins and word remains bothered me 'cause it sounds "unnatural"
so I thought this could aid if someone fall in to my shoes
