Egyptian criminals, thieves (you know, in every revolution bad people always appear…), have begun to destroy tombs. They damaged the tomb of Hetep-ka at Saqqara, the tomb of Petah-Shepses at Abu Sir and the tomb of a person called Em-pi at Giza.

Kinda bizarre that these socalled criminals, thieves in the ME or Moslem countries, always only destroy pre-Islamic treasures! Why don't they destroy Islamic ones? Why is that?!

For the same reason that archeology is illegal in Saudi... Any such Islamic site dating after Mohammed is “holy”; any site dated to the time of Mohammed (or before) has the possibility of contradicting Mohammed, and thus is anathema and must be destroyed.

Any site not related to Islam is also anathema and must be destroyed.
