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]

Nick Zentner's On the Rocks 5min PBS overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWGoiOFgpKI

Search for his name to find his own channel on YT and whole hour+ long public lectures on this and more geology. He's fun to watch, especially in the older public lectures to an audience in an auditorium.
