<p>[QUOTE="Only a Poor Old Man, post: 4625886, member: 111037"]The problem with tombs of famous people is exactly that. They were famous people. The more famous the deceased, the more elaborate the tomb. That means it was expensive to build, lots of staff involved and of course everyone knew that it was full with gold. Almost impossible to keep it a secret and even harder to safely guard it from looting. Finding an non-looted tomb of Cleo or Alex or any other famous emperor/ceasar is harder than winning the lottery.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
