Tomb Raider (not Lara Croft)

http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2011-03/02/content_12098506.htm


Tomb Raiders have become more popular in China recently, unfortunately they are not the super hot badass ones like the tomb raider Lara Croft. The article says this is becoming more and more of a problem because there are so many artifacts to steal and there are just as many people willing to buy them on the black market. On the more positive side it also said in the last five years China has recovered more stolen artifacts then fifty years. I believe that is because Mao's great leap forward was during those fifty years and the Red Guard is obviously not going to try and recover an stolen artifacts. but still it is good knowing that China is starting to care about its past again, and putting forth an effort to retrieve their history.
