Tomb Collapse Kills Three Grave Robbers
<snip>

BEIJING (Reuters) - Three grave robbers were killed when a 1,000-year-old Chinese tomb collapsed on them.

Four herdsmen from Inner Mongolia broke into the tomb, from the Liao dynasty (916-1125) that ruled in the north, with the intention of looting, Xinhua news agency said.

No sooner had they got inside when the brick-made tomb collapsed, killing three of the men. The lone survivor escaped from the debris and reported the case to the police, Xinhua said.

Not to mention the giant boulder.
