CMV: Graverobbers of ancient times aren’t villains

I like to read history things, and I see a lot of “by the time such and such archeologist got there, the grace had been looted by graverobbers. A thousand years of history lost, just like that.” And it paints the graverobber as this terrible person/people who has deprived humanity of this chance to learn of the past 

But I don’t see it this way. Ancient civilizations, by all accounts, were pretty unequal societies. Kings and emperors lived like actual gods, while the majority of people toiled in extreme poverty. So if someone had a chance to take things from a grave, where the dead person wasn’t using them anymore, in order to improve their (presumably awful) stock in life, why wouldn’t they?

You're assuming that the graverobbers were from the same ancient times as the graves themselves, and not from more modern times, where there are many better ways to get out of poverty than grave rob. 

Even if they were poor ancient peasants, it doesn't change the fact that our historical knowledge is now lesser because someone took all the interesting historical artifacts. That is shitty no matter the reason.
