I mean, wth? It’s 2022 and people are still looting this stuff? There wasn’t any gold found in the cave, so the value of what is taken is lost when it is removed from its context.

- hutzlibu 4y ago"so the value of what is taken is lost when it is removed from its context." You can still sell it to collectors. They know the context. And about the why people still do this in 2022? Probably because not everyone is wealthy or interested in accurate history.

- sharikous 4y agoWhat do you mean "still"? Stealing is not something that depends on the year we are in. This kind of looting goes either to collectors (money) or to personal trophies in private houses. All things that human beings like to have from millenia.
