And every pyramid was just cratered in, you know, looking for different artifacts because there's nothing on the surface other than pottery. So in the Americas, I mean, people are,

at least in, I should say, Central America and Mexico, yeah, it's a vicious war for preserving archeological sites. South America is a lot harder because I don't know too much about organized crime in South America as much as I'm more familiar with it in Mexico, but it doesn't seem to be as big of a problem, and it might be because the sites are even less accessible.

They have these huge mound sites that all of them have been looted, but most of the time it's done by locals. Um, you know, often the jungles, these old ancient Inca cities, um, they're completely inaccessible.
