Tomb Robbery in Ancient Egypt by Dr. Kate Liszka
Ancient Egyptians believed that their name, their body, and their memory needed to be preserved to ensure life after death. So that their memory would persevere for the rest of eternity, they were frequently buried in large visible tombs with the often-luxurious objects that they needed in the afterlife. These wealth-filled tombs acted like a beacon of opportunity for criminals. Learn how various tombs were broken into in antiquity, how the Egyptian designed their tombs in an attempt to ward off tomb robbers, and how the tomb robbers were tried and punished for their crimes.

That was fabulous! Been interested in ancient Egypt for many years and now know how all the stuff disappeared from the tombs, not just by who.

Thank you, Kate, for providing this material on tomb robbery. I was fortunate to visit the Valley of the Kings last December before the pandemic hit.

There is a made-for-TV movie! I remember the "Ancient Egyptians" documentary they did about the tomb robbers conspiracy!

If they set the mummy on fire, wouldn't the gold and precious stones get melted/scorched and damaged?

Linen fires at a different temperature. So it likely wouldn’t have been hot enough to harm the metal. Plus they would have to melt the metal down to sell it to other people anyway. So even if it was a bit damaged, it wouldn’t lose its value. Thank you for your question!
