Do structures get preserved well when covered with sand? Some pyramids and sphinxes were preserved wonderfully, but those were massive stones. I'd assume structures like this wouldn't break down completely right?
There's probably entire ancient villages buried in a millennium of sand.

This is oddly beautiful and/or my brain is broken from too many open world games.

I'd say it's more the dryness than the sand.

Pompeii got preserved due to ash, so probably. Unless by the time it's completely covered the sand grinded the outer shell

Thanks. I’ve been wondering where these were since I watched this scene from Samsara in 2011.

Fascinating. Dalíesque.

The rent on that place is pretty low but the cleaning fee is outrageous.

Reminds me of Gears 5.
