I can't wait until they take shit from the tombs, and then die because of it.

You mean like gangs and such?

No, like the tomb raiders of the 20s-40s. They all died mysterious, horrible deaths. Some say it's the Curse of the Pharaohs.

Edit: That pretty much sums up the other half of what i was talking about.

Why don't we just leave them alone? I mean, what can we learn from them that we don't already know? Their customs and religion, etc? Because I don't think anyone will be converting to ancient egyptian anytime soon...

"Mysterious"? There's nothing mysterious about these so called curses. You're supposed to be cursed if you destroy a mirror. I've destroyed countless mirrors, and i've been quite lucky.

Well, people converted to christianity because of a book, so it's much more likely people convert toe ancient egyptian because of a tomb.

Now now, we don't want to start a huge war in here do we?

[NiRv4n4]

yes, but it seems we are pretty fixed on monotheism here in the western world, and the people in india and stuff are all for hinduism, but how will these be useful? I mean, i am all for insight onto the past and stuff, but it is getting pretty old, breaking into sacred tombs and stuff.

I almost opened pandora's box, didn't i? I'm still surprised that when they dug up this guy, how well he was preserved.

Egypt remains a paradise for ancient historians, in archeological discoveries and the many papyri that are found every year. God, I want to go there.

Boohoo, Carnarvon died - he already was a man with health problems. Plus, Howard Carter (you know, the guy who found and opened the tomb?) lived on. Great job mummy!

Ancient historians would probably think it a complement that you believe they have discovered so much about Egypt. Truth is, there is much that we know little about.

Sa Anupav?

Also people love to see the past. The grimier and dirtier the better. And tombs are just that.

Considering that their buried under sandstone and sand for thousands of years without any disruption, i wouldn't expect them to be grimy.
