Excavations at Manezhnaya Square. Moscow 1994
Who or what destroyed the brick buildings? And why weren't new ones built on their foundations? Is this all attributed to the fire in Moscow in 1812? Or to earlier periods?

Excavations at Manezhnaya Square. Moscow 1993
After these excavations, an underground museum was made on Manezhnaya:
There was an article about him here.

House from the "depth of centuries"
With special excitement for the Moscow metro builders, archaeologists descended underground in 1985, where, during the construction of the Borovitskaya metro station, a small red brick house was discovered at a depth of 6 m. Everything was preserved in its original form - not only the walls, but also the furnishings dishes, furniture. Historians have established that the building dates back to the middle of the 16th century and once belonged to the village of Staroye Vagankovo. Yuri Suprunenko in his book "Legends and Were Moscow Underground" writes that this is the construction of the Oprichny Dvor, which went underground due to a natural cataclysm.

Excavations similar to those of the Manezhnaya Square in Rome - the foundations of buildings found right on the square:
Excavations in Rome, carried out in 2009, during the construction of another metro station.

Plan and façade of the Temple of Fortuna Virilis (Tempio della Fortuna Virile), from the Roman Dream edition. Shown is the level of the ground, which was later dug up.
Now the temple has been excavated. By the way, what alternative versions can there be if this is not a temple?
The outer ground level is visible in the background.
Trajan's column drawing.
The columns that are closer - most likely were dug out and installed vertically. The ground level before the catastrophic event in Rome is 5-6m lower than today.

During the construction of a metro station, in Rome, at a depth of 12 meters, another Roman villa was found.

Photos of French excavations of palaces in the desert in Syria:
Photos and drawings from French archaeological expeditions and excavations of the Qasr el-Kheir al Gharbi and Qasr el-Kheir al Sharqi desert palaces in Syria. Archaeological exploration and the first excavations were undertaken in the 1920s when Syria was a French Mandate Territory. A layer of soil covered the territory by meters. Vryat all this can be attributed to the movement of dunes, the movement of sands by winds. There are large enough stones in the ground that the wind cannot bear.
Photo with these large stones.
The soil itself is dense, compressed as after compaction with water.
From the central gate remained a "manhole", no more than 2 m high. Erosion, destruction of the lower layers of the masonry, possibly associated with the impact of water. But destruction by dew, condensation of water after night temperatures is not excluded.

Excavation of the Karnak Temple, Egypt. 1890s. The entire Middle East was the same picture - ruined cities buried under layers of clay, sand
***
Similar events occur in the deserts of the Middle East in our time, but their scale is not as catastrophic as it was in the past. There is no certainty that the reason for what happened in the past is prolonged torrential rains.

A very revealing video on the topic of buildings covered with soil was made on the Kramola Canal

Digging up the territory of the Rostov Kremlin. As the saying goes - "before" photography.
And after . The level of the removed and displaced soil is visible by the landmark of the central entrance.

Excavations at Republic Square in Yerevan. Armenia. 2003:

Excavations in Antwerp:
During construction work, a rich medieval house with a fireplace was discovered (in the Oudenarde region, Belgium).
The old floor level of the ancient premises is clear.
***
One of the explanations is that the soil that drifted into medieval cities fell from above. When dust is carried by winds or from space.
Medieval fashion of those times - hats with large brim. Possibly to protect against falling dust. As a version, it is difficult to confirm or prove it:
Sombrero.
In Vietnam and Laos, similar hats with a large area are still in use today.

For many it is no longer a secret that Stonehenge was reconstructed: the stones were reinstalled, perhaps some were brought from other places. This photo is interesting:
Stonehenge, England. 1875 year. Traces of excavations are visible - the lower part of the megaliths was clearly in the ground, dug up to 2m.

Omaha Nebraska :
This is not the excavation of the first floor, but the completion of the floors under the building.
Whole floors were completed here below the original level after the slope was removed.

Seattle had a similar ground level layout:
In this topic, many want to find a sensation, but you need to be careful in your conclusions even with respect to such striking examples.

Excavations at the 4th bastion in Sevastopol during the Crimean War. The depth of artifacts and structures is amazing.
The question arises: are these the consequences of the Crimean War? Look at the layers of clay and lime! It looks like a lot of mudflows.
Could it be that the Crimean War of 1854-1855 is an attempt to seize territories after catastrophic events? Some territories were badly affected, while others, like England, were least affected. The one who quickly restored the economy, infrastructure and production began to divide the world.

And in conclusion, I recommend watching two videos from the Yevgeny Makarov Canal, who studies the underground parts of old buildings in Moscow:
MOROZOVSKAYA hospital. 8 METERS DOWN. ZAKOPANA on 2 floors.
TEMPLE on Ilyinka. 6 METERS DOWN … and a sarcophagus
***
Although, no, in conclusion, I want to remind skeptics and those who first come across such information - an article with comments and an analysis of their main objections: look here.
The only explanation of the skeptics that can explain the underground floors and which needs to be investigated is the watering of clay and with a slow, over decades, subsidence of the building without destroying it. At this link there is a video of a simple experiment showing that when watering the soil, buildings can sag.
Well, or during earthquakes, when groundwater comes out - this also happens. I showed these examples here
If so, then this model can explain only a fraction of the examples we see. Another part of the examples is precisely the entry of buildings by mudflows and dust storms.
