You CAN make ancient nord armour there, hinting at it's been there when the Draugrs were human. Considering how they don't look very DEAD though (still having skin, etc.) leads me to believe that the Draugrs are recently dead Nords, meaning they had to have been stored there, or well preserved like the Egyptians did, which can open another theory. I doubt many people will believe this, but there is some disproof; Whiterun was founded long ago, meaning the Ancient Nords had to have been the last generation, unless these bodies were preserved, which they don't seem to be.
