Presumably the archeologists don't consider themselves to be tomb robbers but the ancients would probably disagree.😂

[@louisianapatriot5818]

I disagree also. If they want to drag dead bodies around the world, let them do it to their own royalty.

​@@louisianapatriot5818it's more curiosity driven than enrichment

I just listened to her 1 hour audio lecture and I really enjoyed it, I’m looking for more content with her teaching.

[@Goyahkla100]

There is no difference between taking or robbing a tomb, whether it be for profit or pleasure. I think they are doing more good being left where they were. A person's death was of more importance than their life!!!! It should all stop!!

[@user-rf1eq2io4t]

That's why Chinese rulers just killed all artisans/craftsmen/builders of their parents' tombs; and the ones who carried coffins down the tomb were all buried alive before they tried to make a way out.

They had thieves since the beginning of time

What needs to be done for a person to be called an Egyptologist?

[@louisianapatriot5818]

Never seen the Brits dig up their kings and queens and drag them around the world for the price of a ticket. I feel that disturbing graves is a horrible thing to do. If you want to use the argument of history, photos and or replicas would suffice.

Ever hear of the Cheddar Man , the Red lady wasn’t it Richard II they found him in a parking lot

[@kakandecharlse8548]

We should appreciate ancient Egypt they have an Intetionery tought us a lot thousands of years after demise🎉🎉🎉🎉. What will humans 3000 years in the future learn from us?!

[@a-gamemorethanacrossover9524]

You should have mentioned how wealthy families would have parties and dine on the Pharaohs bodies

[@Chamelionroses]

Robbers of tombs...oh imperialists where many had to ask for things like Rosetta stone back. Joking.

[@calvinjackson8110]

Who were they? Probably many of the same men who engineered and built the tombs!
