So interesting. Poor people. What a legacy for future generations to come by to see.

Grave robbers, do they ever stop and take a minute to consider?

think of all the great treasure hordes of ancient Egyptian pharaohs lost during antiquity to grave robbers.

compared to most of the rest buried in the Valley of the Kings, King Tut’s tomb was minor and not particularly noteworthy, considering he was an unimportant boy king who died young. just image what Ramses II or other major rulers had stashed away in their tombs. we’ll never know, because those tombs were robbed millennia ago and those golden artifacts were melted down and used for other things.

such a shame.

Grave robbers: Stealing from posterity for immediate acquisition. Today we call them Congressmen.
