I think that is entirely the point: to keep the decision what to do with that wealth with those living. Imagine if the people of Egypt would still have to sacrifice one lamb each year for some ancient pharao. Sure, he pays for it, but only by still owing a flock of sheep somewhere that could very well also feed someone. I reality, the situation is so that we could nowadays place solar cells on the pyramids and use them to make money. We do not do that, but we (as a society and by our own rules) would be allowed to do that.
