    I think the "large room" is actually one of those really old massive Kilns, you even have the window door thing at 5:02! If they are firing lots of pots (clearly, they are obsessed XD) they would need one, and it looks just like it.
    Edit: also, just saw the final result, and despite everyone thinking the buildings are ugly, I actually LOVE the style so much. I kinda wanna make some stuff with it now, very unique.

    I think the stained glass can be worked in nicely if you're willing to make more changes. We can assume that certain things here are vastly degraded, for example there might well have been wooden roofing. Since these structures are buried, it would have rotted away first. Also, you could probably slightly switch up some of the clay and unglazed terracotta, as it too could have faded over the years. This way you could have the freedom to include the stained glass in a proper palette, matching for example red and yellow instead of red and red.

      yes, when I first saw the structures, I was pretty sure they used to have wooden roofs and some wooden log corners like the villages, but they must have decomposed since the ruins were usually buried underground over the millennia. I think this might be the most interesting little structure that's in Minecraft currently. These ancient people who built them could've been much more advanced than we think, that's why they had kilns and armor trim molds.

      This is a nice theory, but it goes against my theory I had when I was recreating my Trails settlement.

      Ancient Russians would actually cover some of their churches and also their furnaces with painted terracotta tiles, frescos and mosaics. The houses would be wooden so often it's the furnace and chimney that would survive time.
      Roofs would definitely be pitched, including - over the tower (look for Nizhniy Novgorod Kremlin to see how it works).
      Over mud bricks - maybe not bricks of mud, but dirty bricks? Like limestone they bulit of actually gets dirty without proper care.
      The whole thing honestly resembles an orthodox church with it's layout... A tower and a buliding with a big hall and a lot of decorations... and a bit willd roof and layout... And candles...
      specifically knowing that the onion domes would collapse first, especially when there would be people trying to rob it and destroy it. It has very typical weird architecture of "soviets half destroyed and repurposed a church".

    4:55 that brick room, I think it's a large kiln so they can create their teracota. The access point to collect the stone is at the bottom, with the stairs, and the loading point is the hole at the top. The bricks are some leftovers that weren't collected. Or they're purposefully-placed breaks so that air bubbles don't form in their pottery/teracotta.
    Considering the dyes they use (red, brown, yellow), I bet they didn't have much access to your preferred colors needed for proper color-theory. It's likely they didn't have much blue either, since they use it sparingly. So I think it'd make more sense for there to be fewer of those new blue catapult plants (although still some), and more of the torchflowers.

    Historical recreation is a hobby of mine, so this update is SO much fun for me. I was just thinking how fun it would be to rebuild the ruin when I saw this video! I loved seeing it come to life.
    One thing I had to learn when accurately recreating history is that what we think of as beautiful or stylish today can be VASTLY different than the past, because they valued different things.
    Today we have access to so many types of materials, so smaller palettes are valued as a way to show restraint and artistic sensibility. A past society may have seen it differently- the more colors and rare dyes one could afford, the more one could deck out their house and windows. That could show how rich OR how well-traveled and accomplished someone was in an era where dye was harder to obtain. Vikings and medieval peasants had access to way more colors than pop culture would have you believe, and they used them in ways we would think of as garish or tacky! YES you would wear an orange hat and a blue tunic and bright red stockings and a yellow undershirt!
    I've heard a lot of people say the colors in these ruins are too much, that they're tacky or ugly or should be toned down. I disagree! The point of the update is to investigate an ancient society. If that society is just the same as today, what is there to investigate?

    As someone studying ancient history, I am currently having flashbacks to reading about Arthur Evans' 'restoration' of Knossos on Crete! We tread a fine line between rediscovering the past and imposing modern judgements of what is pleasing and useful upon it... Still, much better that such reimaginings are made in a block game than on real archaeological sites as Evans did!
    (I will note that it is legitimately hilarious to see the instinctive aversion to the garish colours. In contrast to the blinding white marble that people imagine today, said colours are remarkably close to the tastes of the Greeks and Romans! All of those temples and monuments were painted in gloriously bright colours back in their own times.)

    Trail ruins makes me think of Ancient Rome. They were known to be really advanced, and even had big roads. It could be a callback to Ancient Rome?
    Edit: The roads even have a mix of block types that are similar to the materials that the Roman Empire used to make their roads.

Archeologists have tested many of the buildings and statues that survive and discovered that they used to be quite colorfully painted. As those civilizations collapsed, the buildings were not maintained and the paint was worn and bleached away by the sun and the elements.

These buildings are super colorful, which some may not like, but ancient buildings were painted in all sorts of vibrant colors as a display of wealth. Though I do agree with other commentators that the colors are most likely faded block versions, or construction materials stripped of “paint”

    Honestly the restored village looks fantastic, storywise. It looks like as if civilization was still in the ancient times, hence the culture looks pretty much more Ancient Mesopotamian, or Assyrian, or Babylonian, etc. It tells so much about the ancient culture with the customized pots, glazed terracottas, and colored terracottas/concretes. Before watching this, I didn't even realize the trailed ruins were remains of an ancient village 😂

    I also wondered what they would look like, and had been toying with the idea of doing this. Another idea for the roofs, is they may have been made out of something that biodegraded over time, so there isn't really any trace of them left. Using the context clues, they could have been thatched (we know they grew wheat), or one of the wood types that were evident from the signs. I imagine there could have been a thatched/wood roof over the terracotta ceilings.

    I love the idea of interpretive archaeology in Minecraft. While the buildings might not look fantastic from a player's perspective, it has a clear and distinct style that gives some insight into the culture that might've built it. Lots of mud and earthy materials rather than stone like most players might use. A surprising range of colors too. If they had access to this much terracotta would it be more likely for them to dig it up from a river, or was the environment a terracotta badland in the past? Those are the things I think about with fictional ancient structures like this.

    Theory: Unlike the ocean ruins, these villages were built much later than the last supposed structures by the ancient builders.
    The last of the ancient builders (other than the villagers and illagers) Build these as their last homes, way after the disease outbreak. One reason why they aren't very destroyed, is that they aren't that old compared to the rest of the structures, that's why they are mostly intact with some blocks just off

  • @protheu5

    Nicely done. I have a few comments.
    Wooden things would've deteriorated long ago, so there is a big chance they had most of their structures and misc done with wood, and only some distinguished buildings and stuff remained. Or wooden stuff was burned when the villagers abandoned it or were violently removed.
    First thing I noticed in this restoration is the lack of doors. These guys knew pottery and at least basic metallurgy, surely they would've been able to make doors.
    Other thing is a severe lack of housings. Most of their houses would've been made of wood and would've surrounded the more lasting buildings. I suggest adding a bunch of wooden houses around for villagers to live in. Best stuff in this suggestion is you can make up their architecture, it's likely their wooden buildings differed in style from current villagers' houses.
    Thanks.

    So they had four armor trims which could indicate military rank and/or duties, mastered horse riding, and were skilled in pottery and metallurgy.
    The Proto-Indo-European people came to my mind. They are the ancestors of the majority of European and South Asian peoples when it comes to mythology, language, culture, and heritage. Greek mythology and Norse mythology can be traced back to these people. The skill of forging metals for weapons and armor can be traced back to them.
    With all these details laid out, I could probably give this trail ruin a name based on their language.
    TLDR, I would call this trail ruin "Hludhistenom"

    if i'm the one building it:
    - due to the abundance of mud bricks and terracotta it translates to them having a supply of clay/terracotta somewhere so i'll add either a river, a swamp, or a terracotta biome nearby. but more likely only a river because: there's no sign of magrove trees growing, and you can get terracotta from smelting clays in the furnace. add some clay and sand deposits in the river.
    - haybales around the farmland/village because one of the ingredients of mud bricks is wheat.
    - glass panes on the buildings
    - add a little more shrubbery like ferns, flowers, etc. flowers because they use a lot of dye.
    - add beehives into the trees due to the candles
    - place a few flowerpots

    Before you changed the roof on itit had bricks which looked like it use to be a 9x9 square that had a hole in the middle of it
    The bricks going back and fourth would of been like some sort of grill
    and i think that this furnace structure would of been used to harden the terracotta

On the same wavelength as the wither painting giving players a hint that they can construct a mob to progress in the game.
