Ancient ruins on Giant World Map are not balanced (especially on marathon game speed).
If you play Japan, UK or another Island Power, You will probably miss most ruins because (in most cases) you first have to research watering before being able to leave your starting island.
If you start in North America or Russia / Siberia or Africa (alone), your scouts may find dozens of ruins granting you a few technologies, social policies, maybe even a religious belief.
If I play as Island Power, I consider turning ruins off.
