Why don’t people damned well leave tombs alone? That is a BURIAL SITE... not a souvenier stand. It never ceases to amaze me how people can think this is an OK thing to do. I don’t care what treasures there are inside. If ther are they belong to the deceased because in their beliefs they will have these things in the next life. Believe it or don’t believe it but...it is THEIR belief and people should have more respect. Makes me sick that they think they can just go dig up someone. Jesus. Enuff is enuff.
I’m with you on this.
Even Tutankhamun: photograph, record, document and investigate the treasures thoroughly, but then PUT THEM BACK!
Does PRIVATE PROPERTY mean nothing to you? Even if the owner and his immediate family is dead, it is NOT YOUR PROPERTY!
You don’t go into your recently passed neighbour’s home to see what you can take, do you? Why then do you think it any less offensive to PLUNDER the graves of the long dead? Is the length of their demise justification for the theft of their things?
