Possible mechanism for entering buildings in the 19th century:
Shoina village on the shores of the White Sea. Founded in 1933.
Many houses have been skidded to this extent due to the movement of sand by the winds.

Could it be that after the flood, many territories could not be covered with vegetation (droughts) for a long time and clay dust carried the buildings of cities, especially after strong winds and storms? And it was no longer possible to take out and clear the buried buildings. So the first floors all over Russia turned into basements. But why is there not a single description of such a process? Neither the classics, nor other sources?
Dune in Poland in 1857. And apparently, it does not consist of sand, but of clay.

Apparently the church in the foreground is well below the road. Unfortunately, these churches do not exist now. The hill, or embankment (going from left to right) has been removed, leveled to the level of the building in the background.
Vologda Kremlin. Courtyard.
The house where Batyushkov lived. Beginning 19th century.
M. b. of course the "basement" windows are not visible because of the grass?

During excavations in the St. George Cathedral of the Yuryev Monastery, four sarcophagi of the pre-Mongol period of the XII-XIV centuries were discovered
Until the end of the 2016 archaeological season, part of the excavation site near the St. George's Cathedral will be mothballed, and the next expedition will begin its development next year. The already explored territory will be brought to the state of the XII century, which means that the level of the ground around the temple will drop by 1.5-2 meters.

The sarcophagi found near the St. George Cathedral of the Yuryev Monastery are in Veliky Novgorod.
And there is a monastery with the same name in the city of Yuryev-Polsky, in the Vladimir region (I was corrected by handemade_ilia).
The last one with such a mammoth on the facade:

One reader's comment:
Recently I was passing through the city of Novocherkassk, Rostov region, walking around the city drew attention to a large number of houses implausibly drowned in the ground. There are quite a lot of photographs of drowned buildings here, I also read a lot of comments that claim that it was originally intended this way, but … There are two whole triumphal arches in the city, built after World War II, but if you look at the photos, then immediately the imbalances of the structure rush when compared with similar arches in other cities. Obviously, the bottom lacks a few meters at the base, the arches were built for the arrival of the emperor, I think the building material could hardly be stolen. A basement for such a structure is clearly not needed.
The proportions of the height are not met, or they saved during construction.

Depths of Moscow treasures
Ipatievsky Coin Treasure A
treasure of Spanish silver was found in 1970 in Moscow, in Ipatievsky Lane. 3398 coins - over 74 kg of silver. It was buried in the ground, apparently, in the 30s of the 17th century and was quietly stored in this simplest of banks to this day, until it was touched at a 6-meter depth by an excavator bucket in September 1970.
Treasure of ancient Arab coins
1837-1838. Treasure of Arab dirhams of the IX century. Found at a depth of five meters during the laying of the first Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
Treasure of the hotel "Russia"
1967. During the construction of the northern ramp of the Rossiya hotel, near the Church of St. George, at a depth of about seven meters, an old treasure was discovered in an earthen jug, which contained 58 half tines and 2 rubles, which had the marks of the 15th-16th centuries.

The wall goes deep into the ground.

An ancient “federal highway” was discovered in Crimea.
Crimean archaeologists have discovered an old “customs post” at the site of the gas pipeline. The find turned out to be an ancient road of strategic importance, connecting the Scythian and Bosporus kingdoms.
A burial mound was excavated nearby. The burial, located under the mound and represented by a circular stone structure, turned out to be plundered and contained only scattered bones and fragments of molded vessels of the Bronze Age. On the other hand, among several open burials admitted into the ditch line, a female grave of ancient times was found, which contained an ancient jug and plate, a bronze mirror, beads and earrings.
And what if this is not a burial, not a mound, but a structure covered with dust, dry clay, or littered with a mudflow mass of a flood? Archaeologists find a skeleton and utensils - for them this is a burial. They find ground bones with shards - the burial is plundered. And so everything is logical - the building was located near the road, like in our time cafes, hotels, shops.

An object of an ancient civilization was found under the energy bridge in Crimea.
Pay attention to the level of soil coverage of the object.
