@Robert Clark A tomb raider other wise know as a huaguero holds a textile that was looted from a tomb in Huarmey, Peru. But is it an artifact looted from a pre-Inca site or a modern fake? Only an expert can tell. While working on the story "How Tomb Raiders are Stealing out Past" for @ナショナルジオグラフィック, I was able to dig into to my archive and pull a picture from another story that touched on the issue.

Certainly this was one of the most bizarre situations in my time working for National Geographic. I had arranged to meet the looters in the center square in the city of Huarmey. The location was being patrolled by a police officer. A man on a motor bike pulled up and said, "not here follow me to the cemetery", so I did. The location was a perfect change of plans and the deserted location helped make a much more interesting picture.

The coverage for the story took me to Cambodia, Egypt, Peru and locations in the United States, and it is a complicated story beautifully told by Tom Mueller. I was able to work closely with #SarahParcak, an Egyptologist and this years $I million dollar #TED prize winner.

Parcak's big idea for her TED wish is to create a fresh approach to the issue of Looting. Working with a team of researchers, Parcak plans to turn the world’s children and adults into space archaeologists by developing an online program that makes use of satellite imagery and crowd-sourcing to record new archaeological sites and map looting activity. The resulting data will then be shared with archaeologists and government authorities.

Parcak is a @ナショナルジオグラフィック Fellow
