Egyptian tombs were protected with curses of sickness and death, but that rarely stopped tomb raiders. Historians speculate King Tut's tomb was robbed at least twice between the mid 18th Dynasty and the late 20th Dynasty, when tomb raiders ran rampant. The first gang of thieves, working solely in the antechamber and annex, were mainly concerned with metals and sellable perishable items, like linens and cosmetics. The second worked a bit more intricately, hitting the entire tomb through a tunnel. The final, complete swipe went down in 1922 when Howard Carter and George Herbert took everything.

First off this is a pretty terrible article, its is interesting but some one who reads this article will most likely want to hear what happened to the painting, how it was stole or how the authority's have no idea wtf happened. Instead this article is a complete let down it says the very lest amount about each heist possible and a in a few case nothing about the heist at all. Secondly, who gave the writer of this article this list of heist? because its utterly uninteresting these are some of the lamest heist I've ever heard off and as someone who is pretty well verst in art history I have to say check your facts some of these aren't even true.

While I agree with your sentiment Steven, you have the spelling and grammer of someone severely mentally challenged.

While I agree with you, doctor, I must point out that you spelled GRAMMAR wrong. That might be the funniest shit I have seen in a while. Irony is a bitch.
