I think it is more about protecting the mummy's dignity.

Respecting the dead etc.

Not that i agree with it. (see post above).
Com'on we are talking about an historical artifact.
Its what 2000 years old ? What dignity are you talking about, I just don't understand.

If we had wanted to respect the dead, europeans should never have scavenged and brough back trophees (mummies, etc...) from their ex colonies.
