nor/or

An answer in an English textbook says:

"Little is known about the people who built Stonehenge, or their beliefs."

Why is this not "nor their beliefs"?

Thanks in advance for any comments..

I have another question about an answer from the same English textbook:
"Her husband, to whom she had been married for 14 years, left her, after which, she was burgled."

I thought the last comma is unnecessary. I would say:
"Her husband, to whom she had been married for 14 year

Welcome to EnglishForward, Germanstudent. I agree with you. There are people who don't like the word burgle, they think it should be burglarize.
