Synopsis "Grave Robbing"

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Grave robbing, grave robbery or tomb raiding is the act of uncovering a tomb or crypt to steal the artifacts (as illicit antiquities) inside or disinterring a corpse to steal the body itself or its personal effects. Someone who engages in this act is a grave robber or tomb raider. Grave robbing is the bane of art historians and archaeologists; countless precious grave sites and tombs have been robbed before scholars were able to examine them, resulting in the loss of historical finds. Similarly, Chinese jade burial suits were believed to be myths for many years until two were discovered in 1968; it is now believed that most jade burial suits were long ago removed by grave robbers. In China, grave robbing has a very long history, more than 2000 years ago. Many Warring States tombs, such as Chu tombs in Hubei, were robbed in antiquity. The Mawangdui Tomb Complex was partially robbed in the Tang Dynasty, when Tang pottery and a robber tunnel were uncovered in the excavation of Tomb No. 3. In medieval and renaissance Europe, students of medicine and of art were reported to have stolen corpses from morgues, private houses, and cemeteries to assist in their study of anatomy.
