Why aren’t tombs explored more? People may think that people going into tombs would lead to robbery, but what about experts? Egyptian tombs should be explored by special scientists because they have many un-explored areas, have many riches to discover, and new kings to learn about.
The beginning tomb robbers were in the time of Rameses IX. Rameses lived in about 1124 BC to 1106 BC. Rameses IX lived in the twentieth Egyptian Dynasty. His acquaintance, called Paser, made up the theory of making tombs underground (Alchin, 2). People started robbing tombs before anybody can remember.

While wrapping the body, they have a chance to sneak all the riches out (Alchin, 2). A group of men built a structure underground called the Valley of the Kings. It was used for holding tombs of kings, like King Tut, but it still got robbed. When the Valley of the Kings caved in, King Tut’s tomb was the only tomb that stayed perfect.
Tut’s tomb was found by Howard Carter. He explained that he could see what it used to look like, and it still looks very similar (Platt, 15)! People started realizing, that tomb robbing was wrong, in the reign of Rameses IX. If robbers got caught, they would be sent to what is now court. If they were guilty, the consequences would be bad (Egyptahotep, 3). Because Rameses’ mayor worked at the tombs, he would often be blamed of robbery (Egyptahotep, …show more content…

Also there were body oils and perfumes in their tombs along with many more to count (Alchin, 1).
The tombs with the biggest amount of goods were the rooms belonging to rulers. The next biggest amount belonged to the religious teachers. The fact of tons of riches inside tombs extended to the Egyptians. This gave them the idea of looting the king’s tombs (Egyptahotep, 3). The most special thing inside is gold.

Scientists improved that kings and pharaohs had a rich life (Platt,
