Giovanni Belzoni (1778–1823) was famous in his day, and notorious afterwards, for his 'treasure-hunting' approach to the study of ancient Egypt, which included blasting his way into tombs with gunpowder. His narrative of his adventures was enormously popular at the time, and remains readable and entertaining today.
