Please name reasons why putting mummies in museums not plunder?

Answer 1

It is indeed plunder and tomb desecrations! That should not be done, but since their origins are so much exeptional for humans in general, they make exeptions and let this plundering occur in the name of science! We could called science an ethical travesty in this case!

Anyways, scientists never really care about spirituality or valued anything of that!

Answer 2

Because the people who believed in that sort of thing are all dead now-----so if the people are not around to object-----it's not plunder.

Answer 3

It is plunder because those people died, were mummified, and placed in tombs within the pyramids. They believed in life after death...the afterlife...and that there was a whole seprate world awaiting them...the underworld...a world that was free from physical limitations. "They believed that they had to perserve their bodies so they could use them in the afterlife." This transfer of the mummies to museums is messing with the mummies beliefs..i mean just put youself in their postition if you were buried in the cementery and later people decided to dig you up..you believing before you died in the afterlife and wanting your body to die peacefully and kept in its final resting place...would be offended right? i would... The living have no idea about the afterlife...for all you know they're dead and don't feel a thing...but their beliefs before they died is what is being tarnished. According to them "An intact body was an integral part of a person's afterlife. Without a physical body there was no shadow, no name, no ka (spirit or soul), ba (personality) , or akh(immortality). By mummification, the Egyptians believed they were assuring themselves a successful rebirth into the afterlife."
