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

They were terrace farms with modern steps, there probably weren't stairs but rather ladders as is common in Peru with the benefit that if you pull up the ladders ascending the terraces is not as easy as it would seem given the fact they could hurl rocks on you from either side.
Multipurpose farms, that's pretty rad
