A1: Well as an Aussie, I think anything older than a hundred years is ancient haha. Spins me out going to Europe and finding people living in 'normal' houses that are 500yrs old.
I'm a fan of Peru's Sacsayhuaman ruins that even includes an ancient slide for worker's kids! #trlt

A1: Another of our favourite ancient sites in Ancient Panjakent in #Tajikistan – who else here has visited? https://t.co/DObhu12YcY #TRLT

A1: For me, the word ancient takes me to Italy. It seems as though every corner is ornate and richly steeped in history. Stepping into the streets is stepping into another place in time. #trlt

A1 Ancient for me is relative, but usually something BC. I am drawn to the Maya sites. #TRLT #TravelTuesday

A1: The saying goes, "As old as the hills" - and the glacial valley High Cup Nick,in the North Pennines is pretty ancient, not to mention a very special landmark. @NorthPennAONB @BradtGuides #TRLT

A1. Ancient can also mean nature, in fact nature, water, food resources, shelter was the driving force for all ancient civilizations. #TRLT #Haida 10,000 yr old #culture @carornocar @TheTravelCamel @kukkulalta

replying to @wheresshellyii @wheresshellyii I know it's a little unnerving to know people live in these houses that folks lived centuries ago like in the old town Tallinn #trlt

A1: I define "ancient" as anything that is more than 500 years old. One of my favorite ancient places is #Egypt. I learned so much about it in history classes, and to see it in person was unlike anything else. This is one of the tombs at the #ValleyoftheKings. #TRLT

Hi TRLT! 😱 excited to be here. A1: to me, ancient is old enough to have withstood a bit of historical turbulence. Makes us appreciate its existence a bit more. My favourite place is no surprise. #trlt

A2: The Himba are a minority group in #Namibia and live almost entirely in their traditional areas in remote Kaokoland. https://t.co/u9FKLyLNMs #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @GoGreenGatsby @HarpersFerryNPS Indeed. I'm about to blog in passing about one actually -> 1847. New Norcia. The only Monastic Town in the country. #TRLT

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @carornocar Oh, I'm definitely ancient. Just ask my joints when I force them out of bed on a cold morning. #TRLT

replying to @BradtGuides @BradtGuides What about somewhere as "old" as time itself? It's thoroughly modern building, no doubt heading for listing soon, and despite all the fuss at the time an incredibly iconic representation of a clock when seen from above. Earn extra points for seeing Roger Waters play "Time" #trlt

A2: Despite that I’m a history geek I’m not so interested to visit places without modern facilities like comfortable bed and electricity. However I love all outdoor museums, 4D shows etc which really show how they lived back in time. #TRLT

@TheTravelCamel @carornocar A1 Ancient Montezuma Castle National Monument is well-preserved dwellings located in Camp Verde, Arizona; built by the Sinagua people, a pre-Columbian culture closely related to the Hohokam and other indigenous peoples of the southwestern US, between 1100 and 1425 AD.

replying to @BradtGuides @BradtGuides #trlt Also in Greenwich, or I believe it was as I think this very young building (c 1999) might now have been pulled down? #trlt
