Sounds like Morocco. Apropos of the looted Mummies, WTF did they think they were doing? Like, stand on a street corner going "Pssst, wanna buy a 4th dynasty high priest going cheap?"

Maybe the dead guy was wearing gold.

Actually, it doesn't sound as if the thieves had any idea what they were doing.

I heard some of them confused the museum shop with the museum!

That's right!

More worryingly, I've read that organised gangs have been stripping archaeological sites outside Cairo.
