Reply to comment by Apprehensive_Floor78 in TIL tomb raiding is a big problem in China that looters sometimes find historically significant sites first. For instance the tomb of the famed 3 Kingdoms-era general, Cao Cao, was discovered in 2008 after police inspected the stolen goods of a bunch of robbers, who then led them to an unknown tomb. by Khysamgathys

The irony is Cao Cao was famous for tomb raiding. He even created a whole government agency to raid tombs, which would fund his troops.
