Ancient Egyptians constructed fortified tombs to safeguard their afterlife and filled them with valuable possessions, resulting in a vast accumulation of artifacts over centuries. However, this practice also attracted thieves and tomb raiders to Egypt since ancient times. This book explores the history of treasure seekers in Egypt and the social contexts in which they operated, highlighting enduring patterns throughout history. Readers will find parallels between the behaviors of modern politicians and con artists, the dangers of materialism, and the cycles of public compliance and dissent in the face of injustice. By tracing the enduring appeal of treasure-hunting, A Short History of Tomb-Raiding reveals the deep connections between our past and present.
