The majority of the tombs of the pharaohs were robbed of their treasures. Do we know much about who the tomb robbers were ie. was this done back in Ancient Egypt (and if so was there a flourishing black market in stolen goods) or a phenomenon that occurred in modernity?

There's always more to be said on the topic, but I wrote about this in Who were the grave robbers of ancient Egyptian tombs?
