Burying implies respect to me. I'd expect a conquering tribe to deface and destroy the complex, but not bury it. Plus, burying would be significantly more work. My off-the-wall theory is that the Atlantean descendants, recognizing that their culture was failing, made one last heroic effort to protect it for posterity.
