Stealing History, Part 2 of 4


Listen Later

This episode has a little bit of everything you could want from a crime drama! Smuggling rings, FBI stings, informants, double crosses, and foul play.

This time we focus on some of the artifacts that were stolen from the ancient Moche culture tomb/temple site Huaca Rajada located in Sipán, Peru and efforts to recover them.

Stealing History: Tomb Raiders, Smugglers, and the Looting of the Ancient Worldby Roger Atwood.
