Ok I actually really like this though. It’s easy to think or sarcophagi with mummies as just some historical relics and not a coffin with a corpse of someone who had a name and loved ones. Giving his name and a reminder of his humanity encourages people to treat his remains with the respect they deserve

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.

I read "the coffee" instead of coffin

Technically it's not really an espresso unless it's filtered through the mortal remains of an ancient emperor.
