Historic map data

Hello,
Please help...

Is it possible to add and view ancient map data in OSM? How?

Suppose that, now large building complexes have come to the place where the ancient building once stood. Is it possible to add to the OSM that the old building was there before and its features?

Any remnants of the old building complex can be added as ruins etc., but items with no remaining traces should not be.

This information is welcome in Open Historical Map.
