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]

I just think it's so cool that 2,000 years later these awesome remnants are still littering the countryside.

I wonder what America will look like two millennium after it falls. Will there still be half-collapsed highways and bits of Route 66 for kids to take holograms of?

There's roman aqueducts all over Europe. Some of them are still in use.
