Okay, Belloq. Graverobbers just want to make money. That’s a big difference from people who want to learn about history and preserve artifacts/treasures in a museum.

Not really.

If I go and dig up a tomb from Egypt that is 3000 years old, it's archaeology. If I go and dig up the grave of someone buried 5 years ago it's grave robbing. FWIW, I agree with most things belonging in museums, and get especially annoyed at a lot of the silliness of indigenous people who consider everything so 'sacred' that no research, exploration or development can be done.
