Why was Doom Guy buried?
Doom Guy was buried because Hell was contained, and he had no purpose, so he was sealed away in a stone sarcophagus in the Kadingir Sanctum in case he was ever needed again, as his one-man war against the forces of Hell had come to an end. The alternative was to just let him lie there until he woke up, as he had fainted after losing the power from Davoth that was granted to him via the Divinity Machine.
