All those US collectors blaming looting of archaeological sites on the lack of guards should note this story. A custodian protecting the archaeological area of Deir el-Bersha in Egypt has been killed by suspected antiquities looters, who killed one other person and injured a third. Do not buy smuggled antiquities.
UPDATE 22nd Feb 2016
The second site guard shot at the Deir el-Bersha heritage site has died. Three people dead for trying to protect a site from Collection Driven Exploitation. Don't buy Blood Antiquities.
