description: "Émile Brugsch was a German Egyptologist known for having thrown on the rubbish heap an arm found in the tomb of Djer which Ancient Egyptians believed was the tomb of Osiris. He was also the official who evacuated the mummies of the Royal Cache from Deir el-Bahari in 1881 without recording the plan of the tomb. This has fuelled speculation that he was involved in the pilfering of antiquities."
