It’s underground now, but that was their ground level when they built it.

Ground level rises. Out in nature, where the wind carried dirt particles over long distances, it rises by a couple centimeters per century.

In cities, where you need to dig out a giant hole for any construction project, not to mention in ancient times there was no plumbing or garbage collection, only a giant hole you dug in the backyard, it rose waaaay more.
