Archaeology Books for Fun - Stealing History, Part 1 of 4
Starting a new book, we dive into the seedy underworld of the black market antiquities trade.
We take a look at the people who do the looting of ancient sites and what drives them as well as the distributors who buy from them.
This book mostly focuses on the ancient Moche culture tomb/temple site Huaca Rajada located in Sipán, Peru.
Though not a happy story, we are enjoying the narrative style of this book in particular.
"Stealing History: Tomb Raiders, Smugglers, and the Looting of the Ancient World" by Roger Atwood.
