Abstract: The article focuses on the plundering of pre-Columbian art by grave robbers. It states that plundering of ancient objects has prospered since the days of the conquistadors, who shipped almost all the gold artifacts to Spain, and often melt them down in advance. It notes that even the biggest treasures are not safe, because the value of pre-Columbian art accelerates quickly than California real estate. It mentions that the thieves have become more uncontrollable and sophisticated. Moreover, thousands of Aztec jewelry, Olmec figurines and Incan pottery, as well as, pre-Hispanic objects have been smuggled out of Central America, Mexico, and the Andean nations of South America every year.
