==Description==
==Description==
'''Ruins''' are the remains of [[human]]-made [[architecture]]: [[structures]] that were once complete, as [[time]] went by, have fallen into a state of partial or complete disrepair, due to lack of [[maintenance]] or deliberate [[acts]] of destruction. [[Natural]] disaster, war and depopulation are the most common root causes, with many [[structures]] becoming progressively derelict over time due to long-term weathering and scavenging.
