#TRLT Q1: What does "ancient" mean to you? How old does a building or place have to be before it is considered important enough to be “protected”. Share a photo of your favourite Ancient Place! via @carornocar

A1. Steeped in history and tradition that span centuries of time defines ancient for me. Among the many sights around the world, the #CaminodeSantiago is at the top of my list! #TRLT @WalkinSpain

A1. To me #ancient is very different from #historic, and worthy of protection.Buildings in places like @HarpersFerryNPS were built in 1783 at the earliest (nothing for #Europe) but considered very important to #American #history. In #USA, 150 yrs is worthy of protection.

A1: To us, an ancient site doesn't have to be centuries old. It is more a place of significance, where something of great importance has occurred – like Bunce Island in #SierraLeone https://t.co/wmA3uRDB6U #TRLT

A1: Ancient is anything that relates to a civilisation that is largely different from what is found now. Many of my favourite Ancient Places are in Egypt - and the Serepeum in Saqqara is a place that gave me a sense of absolute awe. #TRLT @Nilemajesty @ExperienceEgypt

A1: To me ancient refers primarly to period in European history, that is, ancient Rome/ Greece. There is no better place to explore various ancient buildings than Rome! There are lots of less known ancient buildings, too! #TRLT

#TRLT A1: my house was built in 1898. I don't know if that classifies as ancient LOL but it's all relative!
No I'm not posting a pic of it. But here are some from a similar period, in nearby Creswell. More about that town later ...

A1: Well I'm an American so anything that's over 50 years old seems ancient to me, but nothing breaks my heart more than seeing an old or historic place fall into ruin. 📸- Borobudur, Indonesia @carornocar #TRLT

replying to @Touchse @Touchse @carornocar A1 Probably a 1000 years old but even 200 seems old. The most intriguing was the terracotta warriors said to be over 2200 years old #trlt

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: 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: 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

@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.
