Real-Life Tomb Traps?
My random curiosity of the day, caused by this weekend’s showing of Raiders of the Lost Ark in the park: were there ever actually any cool mechanical traps in ancient tombs? Seems I’m not the only one who’s ever wondered that. As usual, The Straight Dope is also on the case. In short, no mechanical traps have ever been discovered, unless you count the water trap in the Money Pit of Oak Island. It’s too bad—I’m sure that the Long Now guys would be all over that.
