How to Rob a Pyramid

The four professors divulge the secrets of the tomb raiders, who were frequently middle- and upper-class people with the means to break into the tombs. They explain what it takes to raid a tomb successfully, common practices when thieves were caught, and what modern archeology has lost—and gained—because of these robberies.
