Well the ruins that weren’t buried got scavenged for building materials…. Why quarry and shape rocks for a house when the temple on the hill has lots of already square blocks…..

Lots of old cities/towns were built near rivers or coastlines. Floods happen, then the river changes course and the city doesn’t recover.
