This is a question asked of me by my son, aged about 7- I was doing A level Archeology at the time and he was browsing my aeriel photographs, home work.
he asked why all the Archeology stuff was buried underground- who buried it? I explained that soil builds up and deposits on buildings and remains concealing it and protecting it fo future people to find .
This led to the question above (he was 7) he then went on to ask if the Earth was getting bigger because of all this dirt burying things.
I was never able to satisfy his curiosity on this point and it was a recurring topic with him for some time along with the one about Americans having a separate heaven.
