What actually happened when a pharaoh's tomb was robbed? Not once, but repeatedly — some royal burials were broken into within years of the funeral. This is the real story: a stonemason's confession beaten out of him by government scribes, two rival mayors of Thebes accusing each other of covering it up, priests secretly moving forty stolen kings from hiding spot to hiding spot for two centuries, and the real reason Tutankhamun's own tomb was broken into twice before Howard Carter ever found it.
