Various treasures have been stolen from tombs throughout history, including valuable artifacts, precious metals, jewelry, and even mummified bodies. Examples include the Tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt, where numerous gold and jewel-encrusted items were looted, and the Maya tombs in Mesoamerica, where carvings, jade masks, and other valuable objects were taken. These thefts not only result in the loss of cultural heritage but also disrupt our understanding of ancient civilizations.
