When I read that “Ancient Ruins were uncovered,” I always wonder where the dirt that covered the ruins came from. Are there some areas that get continuously slowly covered and others lose their coverage in a shifting of sediment?
Is it so gradual that no one society notices that their landmarks are getting “shorter”? Or is it so fast that everyone notices but the significance is noteworthy until a future generation deems it so?

I used to wonder the same thing. Then I went to Russia, and I saw exactly what you’re talking about. A lot of old churches there are just sitting getting older and being ignored. They’re not buried in serious sediment yet, but they are being completely left on their own for decades on end.
