I feel like there's an argument to be had for bringing in artifacts, since they might be better preserved under the care of museum professionals. But when it comes specifically to dead bodies buried in tombs and such, I don't think we need to bring them up to the surface, run tests and experiments on them, and then show them off to people like it's not the corpse of a dead individual. If it's not a tomb then I guess it might be different, you can't just leave them there so you might as well take a close look.

I also think there might be a bit of a etnocentric bias going on here, a bit of cultural disrespect. It always seems to be non-western cultures that get their graves raided and looted
