The Great Smash And Grab


Recommended Posts

Italy is a treasure trove of buried antiquities. But now they are being systematically plundered by illegal tomb-raiders, who operate with virtual impunity. Rose George follows the loot from the hills of Lazio to London's thriving black market.

This unfurtunate thing has been happening since we first started burying our loot. Who knows what kind of history has been lost cause of it. Its also sad that many of the areas where they is immense amount of history are also home to high poverty. Like Egypt of the Middle East in general.
