In this episode of Justice Atlas we will be talking with historian Mehmet Polatel, sociologist Kübra Kurt Çalışkan and lawyer Kasım Akbaş about proprietary rights and violations on the basis of treasure hunting. We will discuss what the treasure hunters look for undeground, the ghosts that haunt them and how this activity, which is essentially a form of looting, gets its legitimacy from history and law. 
 
 The episode opens with the actor Berkay Ateş vocalising a treasure hunter from Van, and seeks to answer following critical questions: 
 
Whose troves do the treasure hunters come across with while they dig for fantasies of getting rich? How does the history of looting date back to 1915? During the deportation process, why burying the belongings was the only way for Armenians to protect them? How did the law turn into a criminal tool in this process? How do the treasure hunters usurp the belongings hidden underground by those who are not welcomed by the nation-state above the ground? How do imams and villagers become partners in crime? Who else’s proprietary rights are violated today and how?
