#trlt I am, as is normal, checking in from Nottinghamshire, UK. A place with a history of its own, tho ancient .... certainly a millenia. Newark Castle, nearby, certainly saw kings in the 1200s!

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
