When it is under a european cathedral it is a tomb to be respected. When it is under a african pyramid it is an archaeological site to be dug up and collected.

When it is under a european cathedral it is a tomb to be respected. When it is under a african pyramid it is an archaeological site to be dug up and collected. That is not a new attitude, rather a very old one.
- apexalpha 5y agoThere's also a 3500 year difference between the two. I'm sure people living in 5022 wouldn't care much for graves from our time.

- apexalpha 5y agoI never said Egyptian... Also the article you linked says between 4500 and 2000 years ago. So the '3500 years' was a pretty decent guess if you ask me.
- qiskit 5y agoDepends on whether the people living in 5022 have ties/connection to us or not. "Clash over telescope at sacred Hawaiian site" "It is the burial grounds of some of our most sacred and revered ancestors" https://www.cbsnews.com/news/clash-over-telescope-at-sacred-hawaiian-site/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/clash-over-telescope-at-sacred-... Strange how hawaiians care about these ancient burial grounds and we don't? Perhaps because the US has no connection to these ancestors while the hawaiians do?
- Mikeb85 5y agoThese bodies are from ~600 years ago. Versus pyramids that are 3500-5000 years old.

They are explicitly saying it now because that attitude has been changing.
