    This is their current position, they were at the bottom of the hill, similarly on the shore, archive photo:

    They were moved between 1960 and 1980, as the Aswan dam’s lake would have flood them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Campaign_to_Save_the_Monuments_of_Nubia

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
