I would love to see a restoration of a ruin! I'm sure it would be a lot of work and up for a lot of personal, creative interpretation, but I think the minecraft community is more forgiving of that sort of thing.
What they do at a lot of historical sites is have a replica built. Most of the time, this is a model, but some places do a full-size replica of at least part of the site. Since a model replica isn't an option in Minecraft, you would have to do one to scale. And copying just one of the houses from the dig site up on the surface would be a challenge, but I'm sure a lot of people would find it interesting. Once copied, then you can fill it in with what you think it might have looked like and put some "people" in it. (In other words, make a diorama.)
That was so cool the way you went from archeologist to tour guide. Leaving the ruins in tact was a great idea too. If you find another, do you think you might want to take your best shot at restoring it to its former glory? I bet the villagers would love to learn about their past.
Personally I think it would be quite cool if you rebuilt the rest of the ruin with glass, sort of like what’s been done at Stone Henge, where you can look through some glass to see what it used to look like, by lining up an outline. But if you filled in all the holes and walls with glass, it’ll also make it easier to walk around but still preserving it
Just an idea I would like to see come to fruition, can you find a trail ruin and try to make it as complete as possible? Maybe otherwise making a city with the blocks used in these trail ruins.
You got a point but a way to obtain them in survival would be good for friends in a survival world to have competitions maybe from chests or something and once you use them their done so you'll have to go back out to get more but also if you craft them even though you make them there's nothing in them until the player puts something in them so to get more pottery shards you'll still have to find more
I love how you’ve transformed the Trail ruins and the time it took you to do this beautiful job! A tip would add a hut of the archaeological excavations in which there are cartoghrapy table for detail and lore of the series!
Thanks for preserving the ruin during excavation! Several of the new trail ruins videos I've seen so far are more about mining the whole ruin/taking all the blocks than preserving it, and I much prefer to see it intact and on display.
As an archaeologist I approve! You did a great job! Love the tour, totally worth 8 emeralds 😊 I've just spent hours fully excavating my first trial ruin. Great fun!
Now that I think about it, emeralds seem like a fair currency for experiences. Diamonds for the resources you "worked so hard" to obtain, emeralds for touring a structure or other attraction.
You've inspired me! I've just finished excavating my first trail ruin. It was in the jungle- quite a challenge- but luckily it was on the banks of a river and visible. Now I'm building a visitor centre and museum and then I plan to ...er.. borrow a couple of villagers from a neighboring village and breed up some jungle guides to staff the place.
I love what you did for your Trail Ruin! On an SMP I'm playing on I found a Trail Ruin that I dug out inside and am turning the inside into a cozy starter base! Also was completely not expecting to have a shoutout for my winning build :D
You could mount lights around the perimeter walls and frog lights in the floors that are not part of the ruin. I'd go with lanterns on the walls to avoid a swimming pool effect. You could even hang a few from chains above the ruins running the chains across the top from the safety fence or the rim.
This is the exact type of video I've been looking for! I'm saving this one to not lose it! After taking a look at my world on Chunkbase, I've discovered that there's a ruin very close to my base (albeit, in already generated chunks, so I'll have to reset them), and I plan on establishing an archaeological dig site there, just like yours!
i loved the tour, actually lol. itd be nice to walk around afterwards maybe. also i thought the loot would be displayed in some items frames, so visitors could more easily see it plus its protected behind the frame (less chance of thievery?). speaking of thieves, we need a giftshop for those interested in trinkets hehe anyways, good videos!
I just came back after not watching for a few months and holy crap. He's almost at 200k. Good job man! I remember watching since the 6th episode of tektopia, and it's insane to see how much you've grown.
I love how Minecrafts lore is taking off. Personally I felt it spike with the release of the Ancient Cities. And now being able to find and excavate all these ruins? There is so much lore surrounding Minecrafts Ancient civilizations now and im loving it.
I just now had time to watch one of my favorites!! That was a wonderful video!!! ❤ I love all of your videos but I do think this one is perhaps my favorite one!!! I loved your tour and I personally think it’s worth the admission price!! I like going thru stuff myself but a guided tour is also pretty good for the historical info. So I’d do both!! 😂😂 I’m sorry you didn’t have visitors on your big opening day!! 🤣🤣 Once again you knocked it out of the park with your video!! ☺️☺️☺️ Thank you!! 😊
You should do another type of archeology known as 'Experimental Archeology'. Obviously, dont do it to this exact site, but maybe try to recreate this exact ruin on the surface somewhere near this site. Archeologists would do it not only for tourism and to see what a place or building would have looked like in its "hay-day", but they would do it to learn more about the culture and to understand better how these structures were built. Theres a castle thats been under construction in France by a team of archeologists out of medieval technology. NO MODERN TOOLS. Its been being worked on for over 30 years, and its a pretty small castle Theyre mostly doing it to learn and understand better how a castle was built, the culture, Why castles were built, and what it would have taken to build just a tiny modest castle.
Well done, absolutely enjoyed your video, I just gathered a pile of terracotta blocks by a jungle river, had no clue what they were. I'm excited now and going to go back and excavate. Maybe I can put them back like I found them 🥴
I'm on Android/Bedrock and the top is visible but there was stone and soil for about 15 tiles down before the actual ruins were available. This appears to be a reported Bedrock glitch, just letting others know - don't give up, it's there!
Great video with excellent editing!!!❤ I don’t know if your aware of this but you have a really nice voice to listen to, your not screaming at me like so many other content creators😂
for the number of sherds you got, although there are many you didnt get, only those 6 you can get from the trail ruin. You have to go to other structures to get different ones
Guided tours are awesome and help increase the appreciation for the historical site. That doesn't mean you can't let people do some of their own exploration as well. Why not have both?
That's what I've been doing the last few days, I think I've uncovered most of the ruins then I'll start rebuilding. It'll definitely be a really cool base🙂
I was hopping to find someone doing this. I have been imaging how to make a site from the trail ruins e you gave us a wonderful inspiration. I'm creating a back story for those ruins, and i pretend to create a similar site like yours, add cranes, advanced posts, barracks and all that stuff. Got a new sub.
A possible edit for the future. You could have made an architectural campsite between the too ruins on that patch of land to the right of the path. All the "architect's" ( you but law wise we can say there's more) could have lived there in tents while it was under excavation, could have carts for stroke and cranes and whatever is liked 👍
The one I recently excavated was peculiar. I found no residences and signs of semi-permanent habitation. There was every type of armor trim. Then, the fact that there was an observatory and two grindstone stations. All the clues pointed towards the structure being a military outpost deep in a distant region near the edge of an Ancient Builder Empire. This could've meant that Ancient Builders even at this early stage had the means to build an imperial state. It's not that crazy considering that the first empires in the real world were created thousands of years before the Rome was even founded.
You know, if you put this on a server in adventure mode, people could visit. Give them eight emeralds on spawn so they can visit the ruins. Maybe add a lectern with a book and quill so they can leave a short message.
hey, just suggesting! maybe excavate some more and link nether portals so that we can visit other towns at the same time! thanks! your hard work certainly paid off!
I think these ruins are player structures. My proof: zombies and zombie villagers are different. We rarely/never see players in normal worlds. Players are nearly extinct, their society left in Strongholds, Temples, Mineshafts, and now Ruins.
Anybody else realise that those like burner things with the block of Coal look really close to how pots were originally going to be make in 1.17 in the live event ages ago?
It was a great video! I hope to dig up a Trail Ruin myself one day, but my excavation site for tourists will surely not be as good as yours, I am still learning to build properly 😅
I think your work and tour is worth an apple and a diamond 🍎💎 . In addition I invite you to a Picknick with German Brezels 🥨 and a German beer 🍻 . Prost.
I would love to see a restoration of a ruin!
I'm sure it would be a lot of work and up for a lot of personal, creative interpretation, but I think the minecraft community is more forgiving of that sort of thing.
I would love to see that
me too

Don't let a archeologist or historian see this :D
I want to do that at some point
As someone who works in archaeology, I love that you did this!
Shut up you don’t work in archaeology I saw your videos your some kid that sits on Minecraft all day
I love that he actually says sherds instead of shards :)
oh yeah? u work in archaeology? prove it by resurrecting the dinosaurs then
@@TesticleMuncher9000 I'll leave that to the paleontologists
@@TesticleMuncher9000 study first before asking impossible requests
That was so cool the way you went from archeologist to tour guide. Leaving the ruins in tact was a great idea too. If you find another, do you think you might want to take your best shot at restoring it to its former glory? I bet the villagers would love to learn about their past.

Suspicious gravel and sand should be craftable and be able to put what you want in them as like a scavenger hunt for your friends
Just go in creative and make a scavenger hunt , personally being able to craft them would just ruin the fun & excitement of going out & finding them
You got a point but a way to obtain them in survival would be good for friends in a survival world to have competitions maybe from chests or something and once you use them their done so you'll have to go back out to get more but also if you craft them even though you make them there's nothing in them until the player puts something in them so to get more pottery shards you'll still have to find more
I love this idea. I'd put a note in some sand that said a really stupid Dad joke.
I love how you’ve transformed the Trail ruins and the time it took you to do this beautiful job! A tip would add a hut of the archaeological excavations in which there are cartoghrapy table for detail and lore of the series!
Thanks for preserving the ruin during excavation! Several of the new trail ruins videos I've seen so far are more about mining the whole ruin/taking all the blocks than preserving it, and I much prefer to see it intact and on display.
I am a professional tour guide and I say you did a great job!
I like your digging outfit and the tour was definitely worth 8 emeralds! It was interesting to see what these ruins are all about.
As an archaeologist I approve! You did a great job! Love the tour, totally worth 8 emeralds 😊

2:40 WOOOOOHOOOOOOO GO ON EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!

ngl marloes voice is very charming. Its actually nice to hear that voice
this tour in the end was so immersive and emotional I think I'd tip you on top of these 8 emeralds.
Imagination is a powerful thing
This is the exact type of video I've been looking for! I'm saving this one to not lose it!
After taking a look at my world on Chunkbase, I've discovered that there's a ruin very close to my base (albeit, in already generated chunks, so I'll have to reset them), and I plan on establishing an archaeological dig site there, just like yours!
You treated this like irl archeology and that is so appreciated!
Surprised you didn't put all the loot on display around the ruins using Armour Stands and Item Frames
I love your imagination! I haven't found a ruin yet, but this video has really made me more excited to go looking! Thanks!
i loved the tour, actually lol. itd be nice to walk around afterwards maybe. also i thought the loot would be displayed in some items frames, so visitors could more easily see it plus its protected behind the frame (less chance of thievery?). speaking of thieves, we need a giftshop for those interested in trinkets hehe
anyways, good videos!
The tour guide part was wonderful, it actually made me feel accompanied instead of being lonely watching a video. :)
I'd love to see you build some other ruins around there and make a whole archeology area that incorporates the trail ruin and nether portal
I just came back after not watching for a few months and holy crap. He's almost at 200k. Good job man! I remember watching since the 6th episode of tektopia, and it's insane to see how much you've grown.
Loving the 1.20 content! As always, great video!
I love how Minecrafts lore is taking off. Personally I felt it spike with the release of the Ancient Cities. And now being able to find and excavate all these ruins? There is so much lore surrounding Minecrafts Ancient civilizations now and im loving it.
I love this archeologist content, keep it up! Next time i would like to see you dig and transforming the Desert Temple into a good tourist attraction.
looks awesome! the underground sections of the building staircases should be braced with logs or something, would look great :)
I just now had time to watch one of my favorites!! That was a wonderful video!!! ❤ I love all of your videos but I do think this one is perhaps my favorite one!!!

I liked your tour! It was very relaxing and made me smile cuz I was imagining actually being a tourist visiting that place.
ItlsIndianaMarloe!
Working on excavating a trail ruin for my hardcore starter base right now. Thank you for fueling the fun doing it with your video :)
i lije project, just small, simple, realistic and nothing over the top like those other absurd giant builds in other channels. Thanks, luved it uu❤❤❤

I just started the video and I like it already keep up the good work. You just earned a new subscriber
That is a great idea. I dug up every block I found, but might do something similar if I find another
dude that ittle fence build with the chain is SOOO hard🔥
i must say this was so fun to watch and i cant wait to do this myself too :3
06:16 Oh I love that you did that..
That's great, well done
You should try to restore a ruin or build a museum around it
Well done, absolutely enjoyed your video, I just gathered a pile of terracotta blocks by a jungle river, had no clue what they were. I'm excited now and going to go back and excavate. Maybe I can put them back like I found them 🥴
I'm on Android/Bedrock and the top is visible but there was stone and soil for about 15 tiles down before the actual ruins were available. This appears to be a reported Bedrock glitch, just letting others know - don't give up, it's there!
that person's airship is amazing!!!
i've been looking for videos like this since the release. i actually enjoyed watching this.
1:04 I’d rather put unbreaking and mending on a flint and steel than on a brush. Crafting a new brush makes copper useful 😂
Using chains to make a fence is pretty cool
Great video with excellent editing!!!❤
I don’t know if your aware of this but you have a really nice voice to listen to, your not screaming at me like so many other content creators😂
for the number of sherds you got, although there are many you didnt get, only those 6 you can get from the trail ruin. You have to go to other structures to get different ones
Ahh that makes sense! I had no idea, thank you!
looks good... should have made the hole wider and had a slab path around the wall on the inside for visitors
oh that's so cool, it looks like the ruin was supposed to be the great sphinx of giza
Magnificent effort!
Always nice to find a non-shouty minecraft youtuber :D Subbed.
I wish you had left the sus gravel loot in place, then visitors could see what was found in each room and check to wonder about what each room was for
Guided tours are awesome and help increase the appreciation for the historical site. That doesn't mean you can't let people do some of their own exploration as well. Why not have both?
It's all so cool!
Aw the two parrots sitting together. :))
It might be fun for a survival player to excavate and renovate a trail ruin and use it as a base.
That's what I've been doing the last few days, I think I've uncovered most of the ruins then I'll start rebuilding. It'll definitely be a really cool base🙂
I like how you did the fences with the chain! V nice
I was hopping to find someone doing this. I have been imaging how to make a site from the trail ruins e you gave us a wonderful inspiration. I'm creating a back story for those ruins, and i pretend to create a similar site like yours, add cranes, advanced posts, barracks and all that stuff. Got a new sub.
The tour was so adorable hahahah
I'd pay a stack of emeralds for that tour, very well thought out.
A possible edit for the future. You could have made an architectural campsite between the too ruins on that patch of land to the right of the path. All the "architect's" ( you but law wise we can say there's more) could have lived there in tents while it was under excavation, could have carts for stroke and cranes and whatever is liked 👍
I like how chill your content is
That was a really great video! You showed up on my recommended and now I’ve subscribed 🎉 well done!
Looking good on your adventure
Your voice is so calming and I love it
"Too many leaves in this jungle"
Let me introduce you to Mr. Clicky
Fire is your friend.
New marloe upload! 🎉❤
This would be so cool to visit in real life.
You deserve more support! Not even jk! ⭐
A restored replica would be pretty cool
Not gonna lie your vids are satisfying i hope you get more subs

I'll pay 8 diamonds for that tour

hey, just suggesting!
maybe excavate some more and link nether portals so that we can visit other towns at the same time!
thanks! your hard work certainly paid off!
The front view of the tower looks like a statue of a face. I'll have to fully excavate one of my own ruins to see if that is a feature of them.
Finaly i came across the content that i was searching
Bros skin looks like he’s about to kidnap tony stark💀💀💀💀💀
You could refurbish one too! That’d be cool
I did this about a month ago. I moved the underground buildings up to the main level and covered the hole with glass.
I loved it, I subscribed thanks to this video, keep it going
Such a fun video!
I think these ruins are player structures. My proof: zombies and zombie villagers are different. We rarely/never see players in normal worlds. Players are nearly extinct, their society left in Strongholds, Temples, Mineshafts, and now Ruins.

Nice tour 😊
has anyone else ever dug down on ruins and never found anything
This guy could most definitely be on hermitcraft
Thank you for this video! I have no idea what I’m looking for.
I enjoyed this video very much. 😊
How many feet down did you have to dig
I think about 20-30 blocks :)
Not too bad of a job!
ngl the pottery sherds are really Nice used as pillars if you stack them
It was a great video! I hope to dig up a Trail Ruin myself one day, but my excavation site for tourists will surely not be as good as yours, I am still learning to build properly 😅
I have no imagination. I depend on Marloe, and other TH-camrs for designs.
Loved this❤️❤️❤️
I think your work and tour is worth an apple and a diamond 🍎💎 .
In addition I invite you to a Picknick with German Brezels 🥨 and a German beer 🍻 . Prost.
Your new skin is actally better than the old one
