Interesting find... that ruin looks exactly like the one in the Ruins
part of Sonic Adventure, and I guess the name of the ghost entity of
those ruins comes from the name of these ruins. Sort of cool.

God I loved that game, so much nostalgia and memories.

It could very well be where they got the textures from. When they set
out to make Sonic Adventure 2, the team actually flew all over the world
getting various pics of plants, scenery, etc. to use in the game.
