Read the excerpt from "Egyptian Tombs: A Grave Matter."

From the twenty-fifth century BCE, pharaohs' tombs
were located inside grand pyramids. The pyramids
served as giant grave markers; however, they also
served as treasure markers for grave robbers. These
wicked people would strip the tombs bare of all
valuables. Then they would sell the stolen items for a
large amount of money, Stealing from the dead was bad enough, but for the ancient Egyptians, the act also
threatened the pharaoh's afterlife.
