History records hundreds, even thousands of cases of tomb raiding, corpse theft, and the stealing of treasures and burial items buried with the deceased. These tomb robbers have also destroyed many ancient skeletons in the process.
However, many tomb robbers could not have anticipated that opening tombs dating back hundreds or thousands of years would make them “pay a heavy price.”
Ancient tombs contain many toxic molds. (Illustrative image).
According to scientific research, tombs have been sealed for many centuries. Because they are deep underground and do not come into contact with light, ancient tombs harbor many “invisible toxins.”
Specifically, in addition to the remains of the deceased, many tombs contain jade, precious gems, and some types of food such as vegetables, meat, and fruits…
After a period, these foods will begin to decompose and attract various insects and bacteria. Molds also appear in ancient tombs.
Over the centuries, the ancient skeletons within these tombs contain many dangerous types of mold. Among them, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus are the two most dangerous.
If tomb robbers come into contact with these two types of mold when breaking into an ancient tomb, they may later experience complications such as hemorrhage and pulmonary bleeding.
Many ancient tombs also contain ammonia, formaldehyde, and H2S. (Illustrative image).
Especially, tomb robbers with weak immune systems will find that these dangerous molds will rapidly increase their toxicity.
Moreover, inside many ancient tombs, there are also gases such as ammonia, formaldehyde, and H2S. When exposed to these substances, tomb robbers may suffer from pneumonia, eye and nose burns, and even death.
Therefore, even if these tomb robbers manage to steal many treasures to sell for spending money, they do not live long. This group typically dies from diseases related to the dangerous toxins found in ancient tombs.
