Now most of them are just towns from about 100 yrs ago. This would not be a foreign idea to BotW since there are ruined towns and villages all across Hyrule. These ruins, I think, were a rather large town almost three times the size of the current Gerudo town. The ruins themselves are in a valley, so it is easy for water to be carried there by a river, steam, or even a brooke. Its all near both the labyrinth and the seven heroines, but to the north and northwest are two very low elevations that look a lot like former lakes. Perhaps he grazed by it one day, like when he passed through the mountain that became the dueling peaks when he split it in two.

However, Farosh every now and again can be seen flying by.

Clearly something bizarre and of great magnitude happened here. Now, its one thing for one of the swords to have collapsed like one among the seven heroines, but for this sword to end up so far up on the mountain its almost unexplainable. What's most interesting is that its sword ended up on the summit of the mountain. Scattered about the highlands are burnt ruins of small villages most likely inhabited by the Gerudo that were said to worship the eighth heroine there. Up in the Gerudo highlands lies a little known eighth statue matching that of the seven heroines in the desert. These statues seem older than all the rest of the ruins, I'd say more than 2,000 yrs old and as old as 3,000 yrs The shrines were all over, so it would seem not only the Hylians accepted them but so did the rest of the other races in each region. So there does seem to have been some unification in the land long before the time the calamity first appeared. What strikes me as interesting is the fast they were built around the sheikah shrine there. It is said to this day the Gerudo people worship these beings. These seven beings were said to have fought for and protected the Gerudo people. Most of the ruins there, given the circumstances of the society 100 yrs ago, I would say might have existed until about 300-800 yrs prior to BotW's present. There does seem to be indication of a much more advanced civilisation in the desert, as well as Gerudo dwellings in the mountains to the north. I actually started in the Gerudo desert, for a good starting point. Here we can discuss the information we've learnt about these ruins, purpose theories about their history, and begin to put together a historical puzzle about the past of this era of Hyrule. There are many ruin sites throughout the land in BotW, and most of them tell a story of Hyrule 100+ yrs ago but some of them look like they go much further back than that.

Hello again ZU theorists! Today, we're not gonna be doing another geography thread that will be for later But this topic may involve some geographical theorising/discussion. Breath of the Wild Archaeological Society
