Presumably the archeologists don't consider themselves to be tomb robbers but the ancients would probably disagree.😂

I just listened to her 1 hour audio lecture and I really enjoyed it, I’m looking for more content with her teaching.

Never seen the Brits dig up their kings and queens and drag them around the world for the price of a ticket. I feel that disturbing graves is a horrible thing to do. If you want to use the argument of history, photos and or replicas would suffice.

There is no difference between taking or robbing a tomb, whether it be for profit or pleasure. I think they are doing more good being left where they were. A person's death was of more importance than their life!!!! It should all stop!!

That's why Chinese rulers just killed all artisans/craftsmen/builders of their parents' tombs; and the ones who carried coffins down the tomb were all buried alive before they tried to make a way out.

You should have mentioned how wealthy families would have parties and dine on the Pharaohs bodies

Robbers of tombs...oh imperialists where many had to ask for things like Rosetta stone back. Joking.

Who were they?
Probably many of the same men who engineered and built the tombs!
