Lawsuits? Why would she get sued?

Many adventuring archeologists seem to believe that anything you find by digging it up is yours to keep.  Some other people have crazy ideas like that the stuff in tombs still belongs to the deceased, or their family, or the religion that buried the guy and his stuff, or the country in which the tomb is found...

Well, this is a hairpin turn from the Story strip...

(...and, of course, I was sure that was Sarah... I even thought Rhoda might be short/dark-haired Nanase, for all the sense that would make.)

Anyway, isn't Lara Croft loaded?

Just because you already have a lot of money does not mean that you would not jump at the chance to get a lot more. Note that Nanase said she would do it for "millions" (of dollars), not the mere tens-of-thousands-plus-expenses that us mere mortals might command as a fee.

Had I not purged my memory box, that would have been Sarah, sans hairband, in panel 1.

Get a solar plane, step 1. Lose the bare similarity, step 2. Treasure hunt, step 3.

Of course, those adventuring archeologists often have a lot more than lawsuits to worry about when one of the people who thinks the stuff still belongs to the deceased is the deceased...

Those falling bills couldn't actually be THAT much money.

Especially considering she's likely true about that "sport" costing lot. Maybe she WAS loaded but is broke now.

Or if one of those who thinks the stuff belongs to the religion is the god of that religion.

Also, archeologists like Lara Croft or Indiana Jones might've destroyed quite a bit of those tombs when digging into them ... AND in real archaeology, the information about where exactly the item was could be more valuable than the item. EVEN IF ITS GOLD.

Good point. Archaeology is a branch of science after all, and a major motivator for finding these things is to learn more about the cultures that put them there, not just to have a fancy object to put on display.
