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

Is this one of the places where they claim the Ark of the Covenant is stored?

No, but that is nearby.

I can't imagine the thought process behind going through that much work for a tiny building in a hole.

"God will be impressed"

Alternatively, "Future generations will be impressed", and tbf, that one's definitely true
