Archeologists believe that the dead aren’t really plundered, especially if they are buried with attention getting gold and silver relics.

Those kinds of finds make all that digging in hot lonely places worthwhile.

I rarely get to use the word..."plundered"...when I get the opportunity, and it fits, I go for it.


"...all that digging in hot lonely places..."

Maybe they should just look for tombs (and spoils for their plunder) in mild temperate climes.
Could this be evidence of..."climate change?"
