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?

Dust in the air.
We can even see this in the modern world. There’s a church in London where the walk way up to it is surrounded by retaining walls. The retaining walls were added later because originally, the ground level was level with the walk way, but over the last 700 years, layers of dust settled and became dirt.
