I'm not arguing against your lovely sentiment, because people should respect the significance of human remains and grave goods much more than they do, and some measure of dignity is better than none.

But if The Art Institute of Chicago, which "acquired" Paankhenamun in 1910, really cared about this dead man being respected, they could make efforts to repatriate his remains to the place he lived and where his loved ones chose to inter him.
