Korbin, it's covered up and had to be dug is because of Natural Accumulation, over centuries, natural processes like wind which can blow sand and dust, especially in dry regions. Water bodies like rivers flooding and depositing sediment like silt and clay and decaying organic matters like leaves, plants, and dead animals can gradually accumulate and cover abandoned settlements. Not like Pompeii which was covered by a volcanic eruption. It's just really old. For why the North tried to stop it is cause the findings at Keeladi dating back to as early as 580 BCE so it's challenging the long-held belief that ancient Indian civilization primarily originated from Vedic Sanskrit traditions in the Gangetic plains. While Vedic Sanskrit has an older oral tradition dating back to around 1500 BCE, the earliest widely accepted stone inscriptions of Sanskrit in India are generally from the 1st century BCE. Which could mean that the written Tamil is older. This might not sit well some of them.

Indus valley civilisation excavations show advanced water and waste distribution pipelines and gutters and even flushed toilets. IVC is radio carbon dated to atleast 4500 BCE. So there must have been a lot of trade and knowledge sharing going on even inland in subcontinent. Romans may have learnt it from here.
