Tomb raiding

Tomb raiding refers to the act of illegally searching for and stealing artifacts from burial sites, usually of historical or cultural significance. This practice often occurs in ancient tombs and graves, where valuable items like jewelry, pottery, and other relics are taken. Tomb raiding is not only unethical but also harms our understanding of history, as it disrupts archaeological research and removes crucial context for these objects. It can lead to the loss of cultural heritage and contributes to the black market for antiquities, making it a significant issue in the preservation of global history.
