How powerful are grave robbers in reality?

With the fire of "Ghost Blowing Lights" and "Tomb Raider Notes", many people are curious about the role of grave robbers, both good and evil. The authors of these two books give a very good description of grave robbery. The tomb-robbing families passed down from generation to generation chose to dig graves only for survival, not for greed, and most of them were cornered by life.

The real grave robbers are not as mysterious as those in these two works, and certainly not so patriotic. Grave robbers are called thieves and are still doing illegal things. Really? Turn it over to the state? An archaeologist.

Grave robbers also have ancestors. The best three are Xiang Yu, Wu Zixu and Cao Cao, among whom Cao Cao is the pioneer? Official thief? Precedent It seems that robbing a tomb to get money is not a special thing for small people, and it is also very knowledgeable.

Grave robbers are basically a group of several people, each with its own responsibilities.

First of all, the person in charge of Feng Shui. Ancient tombs pay great attention to feng shui, because only good feng shui can protect future generations. Not to mention the royal family, even ordinary people should choose a feng shui treasure house for burial. Experienced feng shui masters can roughly locate the ancient tomb through the trend of the mountain and the nearby hydrological conditions. Although it was a long time ago, the land turned over is different after all. These feng shui masters can even determine the location of the tomb by the growth of plants in this place.

People who watch Feng Shui are basically the core of this tomb raiding squad, that is, the protagonist in the tomb raiding movie we saw.

The other person is in charge of testing. Now with sophisticated instruments, the age of the tomb can be roughly inferred after drilling and sampling the masonry of the tomb. After roughly observing the size and direction of the tomb, we can also judge whether the contents are valuable.

The last person is responsible for digging. Sounds like it's doing heavy work. It's actually very technical. After all, a crime was committed in the middle of the night, and a careless person dug up the grave. Not to mention that the treasure inside is lost, your own life is also in it. So the digger must have experience.

Many grave robbers are family heirlooms with their own jargon and underground trading channels. There are many rules for grave robbers to accept disciples. After all, they are not doing serious business. Maybe Da Die, which usually appears in farmland to catch loach, looks simple and honest, and may bring explosives to blow it up at night.

The target of grave robbers is money, and of course they don't know how to protect it like archaeologists do. Blow up the cemetery, put things in sacks and leave directly, even the bodies will not be spared. Because of their existence, many ancestors' treasures were sent to foreigners' pockets, leaving archaeologists with many historical relics that can be used for scientific research.
