What Happened If You Were Accused of Robbing a Royal Tomb?

In 12th-century BC Egypt, the master stonecutters of Thebes were starving, so they picked up their copper chisels and broke into the royal tombs they had originally built. What actually happened when these artisans were caught and dragged into the vizier's interrogation room? This video reconstructs a real royal tomb robbery and the brutal political cover-up that followed, using the exact court transcripts of a confessed robber named Amenpanufer. Society remembers the curse of the pharaohs and the myth of elaborate booby traps. The historical reality is much darker: the true guardians of the tombs were corrupt desert police who took bribes, and a bankrupt state machinery that tortured its own necessary workers to close a political scandal.
