As I was reading about the Valley of the Kings again, I wonder why that was actually legal.

    Yeah, but those greaves are a part of a still existing culture and religion/beliefs, I don’t think it’s the case with the ancient Egypt, Vikings graves etc

      That shouldnt matter. It remains an arbitrary decision by the living, who have no way of calling in the opinion of the deceased.

      When coming across a burial site while doing archeological digging just restore it and move on.

      The dignity of a human doesnt go away because people think his culture doesnt exist anymore.
