'''Ancient Ruins''' are ruins belonging to an alien race known as the [[Guardians]]. The first Ancient Ruins site was discovered on October 27, 3302 by CMDR XDeath in the Synuefe XR-H d11-102 system.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/59l4hk/cmdr_xdeath_found_the_monolith/</ref><ref>https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/300054-Alien-archeology-and-other-mysteries-Thread-9-The-Canonn</ref> Since January 3303, additional sites have been located in other systems.

===Layouts===
===Layouts===
Ancient Ruins sites have so far been found to have four different topographical configurations.
Ancient Ruins sites have so far been found to have seven different topographical configurations.


;Layout 1.1:
;Layout Alpha 1:
The first layout of Ancient Ruins sites consist of one main complex of apparent earthworks or buried structures in a roughly-pentagonal shape, with two sections of concentric circular earthworks or structures. Scattered among the complex are numerous clusters of obelisks, which remain functional despite their abandonment, and inert pillar-like structures placed at intervals. 1.1 and 1.2 sites have the same decryptable data entries.
In this layout, obelisks and other artificial structures are organized around a central, conical earthwork topped by a crater-like depression. Smaller circular earthworks of varying size surround this cone. All Alpha-type sites have the first third of Guardian data entries.


;Layout 1.2:
;Layout Alpha 2:
A variation of 1.1. The earthworks have the same layout, but some of the artificial structures are in different locations. 1.1 and 1.2 sites have the same decryptable data entries.
A variation of Alpha 1. The earthworks have the same layout, but some of the artificial structures are in different locations. All Alpha-type sites have the first third of Guardian data entries.


;Layout 2.1:
;Layout Alpha 3:
A second layout was identified with the discovery of the third Ancient Ruins site. In this layout, obelisks and other artificial structures are organized around a central, conical earthwork topped by a crater-like depression. Smaller circular earthworks of varying size surround this cone. 2.1 and 2.2 sites have the same decryptable data entries.
A variation of Alpha 1. The earthworks have the same layout, but some of the artificial structures are in different locations. All Alpha-type sites have the first third of Guardian data entries.


;Layout 2.2:
;Layout Beta 1:
A variation of 2.1. The earthworks have the same layout, but some of the artificial structures are in different locations. 2.1 and 2.2 sites have the same decryptable data entries.
These Ancient Ruins sites consist of one main complex of apparent earthworks or buried structures in a roughly-pentagonal shape, with two sections of concentric circular earthworks or structures. Scattered among the complex are numerous clusters of obelisks, which remain functional despite their abandonment, and inert pillar-like structures placed at intervals. All Beta-type sites have the second third of Guardian data entries.


;Layout 3.1:
;Layout Beta 2:
A third layout that was identified at the ninth Ancient Ruins site. This layout is considerably larger than the previous ones, with several massive earthworks in new, more complex geometric designs.  
A variation of Beta 1. The earthworks have the same layout, but some of the artificial structures are in different locations. All Beta-type sites have the second third of Guardian data entries.
 
;Layout Beta 3:
A variation of Beta 1. The earthworks have the same layout, but some of the artificial structures are in different locations. All Beta-type sites have the second third of Guardian data entries.
 
;Layout Gamma 1:
This layout is considerably larger than the previous ones, with several massive earthworks in new, more complex geometric designs. All Gamma-type sites have the final third of Guardian data entries.

On February 10, 3303, personal logs surfaced from a member of an expedition to locate the Guardians' origin world led by a Professor Melville. Melville was an authority on xeno-biology who had disappeared several months earlier. Theorizing that the Guardians had once occupied a volume of space roughly equivalent to the human bubble before being forced to migrate, and that at least hundreds of ruins sites existed, Melville gathered a cadre of supporters to attempt to find these ruins. According to the logs, the expedition discovered clusters of three ruins sites in each of three systems: Synuefe LY-I b42-2, Synuefe NL-N c23-4, and Synuefe TP-F b44-0. As of February 8, in the logs' final entry, Professor Melville has seized control of the expedition ship and cut off all communication to the rest of the galaxy.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/589db33015ac1c292f68b825 Galactic News: Intriguing Expedition Record Surfaces]</ref>

===Sites 6 and 7===
===Independent Searches===
Three days before the Melville Expedition was revealed, CMDRs Madwax, mGtRd, and Noodlz discovered a sixth Ancient Ruins site on planet 8 C of the COL 173 Sector KY-Q d5-47 system. The following day, they also located a second site on the same planet, marking the first known example of a planet featuring more than one site. These two sites also demonstrated two new minor layout variations. The CMDRs withheld their discoveries, hoping to locate a third site that they believed was on the planet before making an announcement, but the Melville Expedition information caused them to alter their plans and announce the find early.<ref name="6 and 7" />
