The section on African Americans includes a link to the 1833 Emancipation Act of Great Britain. Shouldn't this be referring to the US Emancipation Proclamation or 13th Amendment? Since it clearly references African Americans serving in the Union Army? 141.107.168.169 ( talk) 19:08, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
This shouldn't be moved to wiktionary. There is a fascinating history revolving around the business of providing cadavers to anatomists, especially in the 16th and 17th centuries. During this time in London, guards were placed over fresh burials to discourage disinterment, and at one point, the law allowed certain heinous crimes to be punished by hanging, after which the victim's body would be either handed over to the anatomists or dismembered in a less precise way for public display.

In this article it states that Michelangelo took dead bodies to examine their anatomy. I always thought that it was Da Vinci. Am I right or wrong?

This article should focus on grave robbing, that is stealing goods from graves. Body Snatching is covered in another article, and theft from tombs is a subject that deserves an article of its own. stargate70 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.86.101.209 ( talk • contribs) 21:57, 31 October 2006
What can you usually find in a grave? personal belongings? money? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pulser ( talk • contribs) 15:33, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
I made some additions to teh article as it seems to very short.
Here are my additions:
Moltives and Reasons
Some of the moltives for grave robbery -valuables (such as jewellery, gold teeth, rings, watches etc.) -medical body parts (Theres an international black market for human body parts). -occult folklore (items such as skulls, human body fat are used by occultists. This does not mean to imply that all occultists do this.)

Hey, I added a little template at the top of the article to redirect people who are looking for the relationship term "grave robbing" (a man or woman dating a much older man or woman). 156.34.237.242 ( talk) 23:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
Uh, why is an Indiana Jones quote in the middle of the introduction? This totally does not belong here, and perhaps should be put into a popular culture references section. -- Kangabell ( talk) 03:01, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
Aztecs never went out of what is considered today North America and Mayans were also located (to a certain extent) in North America. So why is there info on Aztec and Mayan grave robbery under Central America, not under North America? 189.228.118.180 ( talk) 09:19, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
