forgotten ruins
Neglected ancient structures
Forgotten ruins are the remains of structures that time and neglect have erased from common memory.
The phrase evokes crumbling temples in overgrown jungles, abandoned cities reclaimed by desert, or ancient walls discovered beneath modern streets.
In games and fantasy, forgotten ruins are sites of adventure—places where treasures and dangers await those who rediscover them: The map led to forgotten ruins deep in the forest.
