I bet these guys were mortified. They'll have to lie to their jailhouse bunkmates:
TOMB RAIDERS FIND PHARAOHS’ DENTISTS
Thieves last week led archaeologists to the graves of three royal dentists, located near to the Step Pyramid of King Djoser, believed to be Egypt’s oldest pyramid.
The thieves launched their own dig two months ago but were caught and arrested, Zahi Hawass, chief of Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities, told news agencies.
This arrest led archaeologists to the three tombs, one of which included a curse warning that anyone who violated the sanctity of the grave would be eaten by a crocodile and a snake.
Hawass told reporters that the tombs date back more than 4,000 years to the 5th Dynasty. They were meant to honor a chief dentist and two others who treated the pharaohs and their families.
