'''Ancient ruins''' can be found scattered about the [[Lental]] [[region]] in [[New Pokémon Snap]]. They can be recorded in the [[Photodex]] by taking a photo of them.

Many of the ancient structures and buildings found all over Lental are so worn that it's impossible to know what they originally looked like. It's said that these ruins are somehow connected to the legends of the region.

==In New Pokémon Snap==
Photos of ancient ruins are stored in a separate section of the Photodex and are not awarded a score.

Registering all 12 ruins awards the player with the "Historian" [[research title]].

| "''We found these ruins at the base of an enormous tree in the jungle.<br>I wonder if the energy from these ruins had something to do with how the tree managed to grow so huge.''"
| "''These ruins were deep in the forest.<br>Judging by how widely they were distributed, it seems likely they used to be part of a group of relatively small structures.''"
| "''We found these ruins submerged in the lake.<br>It looks like the lake formed in a deep recess created by some kind of tremendous impact.''"

| "''We found these ruins deep beneath the earth.<br>I suspect the glowing stones in the ceiling were also part of the ruins.<br>Perhaps their light helped nourish the surrounding plant life.''"
| "''We found this roughly 2,000-year-old mural deep inside the cave.<br>Unfortunately, because that center-right piece of the image is missing, we can't tell what the mural depicts.''"
