The writers of that episode weren't focused on creating new plot points or mysteries, they focused on expanding the already established canon.
Completely untrue. Many of the Legends episodes, including that one, were specifically planted with new mysteries for the future fiction of the Halo series. Very shortly after Legends released another piece of fiction (I believe it was the addendum to Fall of Reach) mentions basically the same fact: that the humans have found on a planet, one that they've never been to in all of known human history, ruins that have Asian, Middle Eastern, Greco-Roman, and other human architectural features.
The mystery to me still from The Babysitter is why the ruins were so huge. The stairs those ODST's had to climb in that part of the episode were almost too large for the current humans to even use. Could just be a decorative thing, but it seems kinda odd from a writing standpoint to just throw that in there as a decorative thing.
