How did we ever get to the point where graves were dug up to study. They lived. They died. And their burial spots were to be treated with respect.

Sorry....this is just plain wrong.

The people aren’t in the grave, just their vessel. Religious people believe the soul has gone somewhere else. So that makes cemeteries a huge waste of real estate.

Sadly, two months in Israel (1999), and I only visited one archeological site - the ancient city of Dan in the north.
Granted I was over there working for the IDF at the time, but certainly a few missed opportunities.

I’m going to put a curse on anyone who digs me up and steals my pottery.

The family that decays together, stays together.
