This is funny.
I read it, and in spite of everything happening in the world right now, it made me giggle.
My friend also thought it was funny but then stated that she didn't think it was right to be digging up people. And I thought about this for a minute...
Who decides when it's okay to start exhuming bodies from the ground in the name of... whatever?
(science, history etc)
Like, I know if I grab a shovel and head over to Oakland cemetery, there's gonna be trouble.
There will be trouble even if I explain that I'd like to know what jewelry such and such was buried with and what they were wearing and if they were 'somebody important' - yet we seem to think these are good reasons to dig up ancient folks.
And exactly where is the cutoff line in chronological history for:
OKAY TO DIG UP / NOT OKAY TO DIG UP?
Is there a world exhumation committee and if so, who are they and what sort of moral compass or other criteria are they using to decide such things? And why aren't they seriously considering the consequences of curses and that sort of deal?
No one has opened those Egyptian coffins YET - but has anyone given consideration to the fact that maybe JUST DIGGING THEM UP caused the current pandemic?
Seriously.
Is it okay to dig people up if their burial place is hidden?
That currently seems to be the only requirement.
"Oh, hey, I was digging around this empty lot and WHOA! there's a coffin here! Ima open it"
What's the point of burying anyone if someone, somewhere, sometime is just gonna come along and pop ya open?
I'd like some answers!
