Don't get me wrong, I think these warnings are important, but the wording especially strikes me as something that would achieve the exact opposite of its intended purpose - could you imagine an archaeologist, random explorer, or even grave robber, would heed such a warning, or think "if someone wanted to hide something of great value or interest, this is exactly how they would try to keep people out"? It didn't work for the Egyptians..
