Any thoughts on what the RUINS might be ruins of? No real clue. The game doesn't give us any indication. I suppose it could be ruins of an ancient monster civilization, assuming that the puzzles were there before the monsters went to the Underground. Then again, the monsters could have built the puzzles once they got there, leaving us back at square one. Unfortunately there also isn't any indication of what is "old" and what is "new" (i.e. before and after the monsters were trapped). At best we have Toriel writing on the levers to indicate which ones to pull to solve one of the puzzles, but even then that puzzle could have simply been built by the monsters, and Toriel left the notes after she returned to the Ruins.
