Steve, I don’t have your background but experienced shock and disgust when I saw a decomposing body of an Egyptian in the museum of Art & History in Albany Ny. I felt that I was violating someone’s rest, and that was SOMEONE, not a relic. It felt morally obscene to display it as an artifact.

Whom, in their holiness, has decided that this woman was a lowly ‘witch’ and not rather a much loved and trusted ‘Matriarch’ in that community?

I’ve studied anthropology & archaeology, so I can understand the thrill of finding something that has been hidden for a long time; however, what gives these people the right to assume they have the authority to dig up graves & rob bodies? These bodies belonged to somebody’s loved one: a mother, father, brother, sister, son, daughter, aunt, uncle, etc. If age is the only criteria to determine the rightness or wrongness of an act, at what point is it acceptable to do violate somebody’s grave? 20 years? 40 years? 100, or maybe a 1000?
