With the uncovering of the burial chamber, it was clear it didn't belong to their people of the past. The bones were simply to large to have come from a muerson. As for the practices being different from what is done today, that is too be expected, even by the common man. Everyone knows the Hie were buried differently from the Hiekit, they always had been.

As for what to do with the new space, that was less clear. Since suggested to be used as a place of worship, but no one alive knows who these bones belonged to, and therefore who to worship. Some wished to study it to learn more about the gods, but that was seen as blasphemous by most. Even if their domains are unknown, it does not give us permission to sully their resting place. And even others suggested to simply seal is back up and leave it be. But then it might be uncovered again in the future, and the elders were not trusting of future generations to do the right thing.

So in the end, they decided to maintain it, keeping it clean and tidy while also interacting with it as little as possible as to not disturb the dead. Only priests are allowed in now, and it is their job to make sure everything stays as it is. I'm the future it may become a site of worship, once people forget how it was found, but for now it is stuck in limbo, not holy enough to be widespread, and not unholy enough to be forgotten.
