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]

built by 52 AD

It was the longest tunnel ever built until the inauguration of the Fréjus Rail Tunnel in 1871

Holding the record for 1,819 years is absolutely insane
