	Grave robbing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Grave robbing or grave robbery is the act of uncovering a tomb or crypt to steal the artifacts inside or disinterring a corpse to steal the body itself or its personal effects.
		Grave robbing is the bane of art historians and archaeologists; countless precious grave sites and tombs have been robbed before scholars were able to examine them.
		The Egyptian pharoah Tutankhamun is famous because he is the only pharaoh whose tomb was discovered intact, grave robbers having already pillaged the tombs of other pharoahs.

	bad day for grave robbers
		Now obviously Grandison Harris was really a glorified grave robber, not a true Resurrection Man. He did not bring the dead to life, but instead desecrated a cemetery and then carted its cadavers back to the doctors of the medical college.
		On the day of the resurrection, Mary Magdalene and a group of women arrived at the grave, carrying spices and ointments and fully expecting to be greeted by the stench of death.
		Mary assumes that grave robbers have already been there and done their dirty work, and she cries out to Peter, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him" (John 20:2).

	The Grave Robbers Quest! - Message Board - ezboard.com
		Grave robbers have been defiling graves day and night at the Graveyard and are resurrecting the dead citizens of Yew for their own purposes, and it is up to you to stop them.
		All grave robbers will have a red-hued head on their corpse, so snatch it and continue on (cutting their bodies and collecting their head will not count toward the quest).

	[No title]
		Theft of an entire body from a grave or tomb is not referred to; rather, defiling and robbery involved cutting what parts from the corpse were required.
		The idea that grave robbers who were necromancers stole the body of Jesus fails under the weight of lack of corresponding evidence, both in terms of the nature of the crime and the locale, and the implausibility of "getting away with it" under the circumstances.
		Grave robbery itself -- for the purpose of stealing treasure, not the body -- had been around as long as the Pharaohs themselves had been specially buried, if not longer.

	DVD Review - Crypt Of Terror: Cemetery Of Terror / Grave Robbers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In "Grave Robbers" we see how a Satanist is tortured and eventually killed during the Inquisition, but not before he swears a curse that will bring him back to life if the axe that killed him should ever be removed from his body.
		Sure enough, a couple of hundred years later a bunch of young grave robbers, intent on finding ancient gold, open the grave and pull the axe from the mummified body they find inside.
		Certain scenes and the opening of "Grave Robbers" feels a lot like the Blind Dead movies for example, while other moments of cross-pollination can be found throughout, especially in terms of cinematography and shot composition.

		The letter, written by one member of Skull and Bones to another, purports that the skull and some of the Indian leader's remains were spirited from his burial plot in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, to a stone tomb in New Haven that serves as the club's headquarters.

		But Mead was not at Fort Sill and researcher Marc Wortman, who found the letter last fall, said Monday he is skeptical the bones are actually those of the famed Indian fighter.

		Unless Congress acts to protect these undersea graves, some divers will continue to raid them for souvenirs and artifacts, much like the despicable grave robbers who plundered the tombs of Egyptian Pharaohs and, closer to home, many historic grave sites of American Indians.
		Using these ships as their personal playgrounds, these artifact thieves not only are desecrating the sailors' graves, they are stealing a part of America's historical heritage, piece by piece.
		Certainly they don't deserve to have their graves picked clean.

		The number of executions was, as William Roughead wrote, "...wholly inadequate to meet the growing needs...and the surgeons' and barbers' apprentices had been in use diligently to till the soil and reap the harvest of what has been finely called 'Death's mailing.'"
		This practice soon became the regular occupation of some underworld characters, and author Hugh Douglas wrote of the proficiency of these workers: “(Grave robbers) could open a grave, remove a body and restore the soil between patrols of the night watch....
		Upon receiving a delivery of a cadaver from someone other than those authorized to transport criminals’ corpses, doctors and their assistants most likely suspected that the bodies were from graves, but generally said nothing in order to keep the anatomy classes full of interested (and paying) students.
