Can someone please explain to me how huge buildings, and even entire cities, get buried?

Trash.

I know someone who can. The late Immanuel Velikovsky. 'Worlds in Collision' explains it very well.

Very, very slowly.

I think it has something to do with the street sweepers going on strike.

Seriously, dust blows in. Stuff piles up. Without a central garbage collector hauling the stuff off to a landfill, I guess mass just kind of accumulates over the centuries. In areas with significant erosion that might not happen, but people generally don't want a lot of erosion around their houses for obvious reasons, so little material gets washed away compared to the stuff being brought into the city by one means or another.

That's my guess anyway.

Jerusalem has been conquered many times, and in each of those times when the city is destroyed there is considerable rubble. As an example when the Romans conquered the city in 70 AD after a siege of 134 days Titus did not leave one stone on top of another.

In 132-135 AD there was the second Jewish rebellion, and the Romans once again destroyed the city. These are but two of the times the city was destroyed.
