Police said the 175
tomb raiders, who belong to 10 gangs, had a clear division of
labor1 covering the whole process from
excavation2 to sales. Four archeologists are suspected of participating in the tomb raiding and selling the stolen artifacts.
175名盗墓贼隶属于10个团伙,整个过程从挖掘到销赃分工明确。四名考古学家涉嫌参与盗墓以及出售被盗文物。
大家都看过《盗墓笔记》,那么现实中的盗墓贼们(tomb raiders/grave robbers)都是如何作案的呢?据落网盗墓贼供认,他们首先要看风水(observe fengshui),并先期踩点(scout before excavation),用雷达探测仪(radar detector)探测到墓葬里边有金属,才能带领团伙进行“智能化盗掘”(conduct intelligent grave robbing)。
盗墓贼使用的是电动打洞机(electric excavator),而为了方便夜间“施工”,他们还对工具进行了改装(modified their equipment),加上了消音胆,这样噪音就会小很多(add a silencer to reduce noise)。盗墓贼使用的开锁工具的精细程度也令警方为之一惊。
这次行动追回文物1168件,是我国1949年建国以来最大的突击行动(the biggest
swoop3 of its kind),被盗文物(looted artifacts)价值逾5亿元。
