How do inhabited cities get burried. It never made sense to me that a lot of ancient cities have many layers built on top of each other.

I'd guess it has something to do with rivers building sediment layers or something.
They're like ogres.

There was not much of a regular trash service, other than dogs and pigs rooting through the trash.
So the streets built up with non organic trash.
When a building was destroyed, they did not clear the debris away, it just became the new foundation.

That sounds like bullshit, how the fuck do build a house on top of rubble, that'd be unstable as fuck.

Generally, you can think of it as humans carrying stuff(anything from food they shit out to clay from the riverbed to build bricks) from the surrounding area to their place of habitation. All that stuff ends up accumulating, and you get a slowly rising hill burying previous constructions.
Mind you, this process takes centuries to rise a single meter. Most archeological digs aren't work on 'buried' buildings, but the parts of buildings that are underground(the foundations) are usually the only part that remains.

Looks like you've got some nice taste with that classic 'go 'za there! Put a little 'cha on that and you're set!

You are retarded or delusional if you actually believe that.
Fasntnig question which I'm also interested in. IIRC, medieval peasants seldom had "floors" in their hovels - that is, they seldom had proper flooring that we today would have such as wood, tile, etc. It was mostly just a mixture of organic and non-organic material that was stamped into a thick, black sort of layer, almost like clay. Maybe that might have played a part in it? Who knows, time is weird.

Earth is alive and intelligent and is actively trying to bury us alive.
Fortunately she's as slow as she is big, so we humans can shake off the accumulating dust, until we die and bury ourselves. But she just won't give up, and all our cities are doomed.

Did you even watch it, idiot?
