Giuseppe Ferlini
Giuseppe Ferlini (Italian: [dʒuˈzɛppe ferˈliːni]; 23 April 1797 – 30 December 1870) was an Italian medical doctor, soldier and treasure hunter. A pioneer in the sale of Kushite antiquities, he is best known for his destruction and dismantling of various Nubian pyramids in the ancient city of Meroë, including that belonging to Kandake Amanishakheto in 1834. Ferlini's archaeological methods have been criticized for focusing on treasure retrieval over scientific and contextual documentation as well as badly damaging the pyramids of Meroë.
