Why is it not grave robbery to take artefacts from ancient graves and put them in a museum? (feddit.org)

As I was reading about the Valley of the Kings again, I wonder why that was actually legal.

I for sure dont want anyone to unbury me, steal my last personal effects to put on display and toss by remains in some cooler waiting further analysis.

Who wants to have personal effects in their grave anyway? When I'm dead, I want to become soil as quickly and cheaply as possible.

And i hope your choice gets respected as it is your choice. The same should apply to the people whose personal effects have been robbed from their graves.
