usually when a city is destroyed by war or natural causes like flood or earthquakes, another version is rebuilt on top of the ruins, often using salvage from the previous construction.

I find it very curious that nothing was rebuilt on the site and yet the foundations of stone buildings are being uncovered. Looking at the model in the museum I would think someone would come up with a theory about the abandonment of this sturdy ancient city.
