"We learned that the remains had been exposed by tomb robbers and that a beautiful sword which was found among the bones was sold to American tourists," Castiglioni said."

can this man be found?

Intriguing article. Is that intial photo – posted by the Brothers Castiglioni – supposed to be from the site itself? Hope they turn up more evidence. One dagger and some jewelry, even if dateable to the period, isn't enough. I suppose bronze should hold up pretty well in the dry conditions.

I wonder if the American tourists even know what they've got. I have this reasonable fear that this "beautiful sword" may end up in the hands of somebody's little kid playing Conan.

"That belongs in a museum!"

But will the museum actually pay you enough to feed your family for a few days/months/years?
