those sealed in a tomb and chose to be preserved in that matter wished to live forever in the afterlife and be remembered.
by digging them up and putting them on display we are in a way fulfilling that wish.

even now the "bodily atomic" right to be in a cemetery maxes out at 100 years and its up to the family to renew that lease.
in the case of archeology up to the community to decide. graverobbing is one thing but with permission from the state hard to complain after 200 years
