Interesting.

Every time I see the calligraphy and intricate details of Islamic architecture, I’m reminded of just how short my attention span is. Can’t imagine carving all of that.

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
