Little Late now. My guess is they sold it to another Museum.

The Sherlock Holmes story Hound of the Baskervilles has a bit where one of the side characters is threatening to sue an amateur paleontologist for opening a neolithic-age grave, without the express consent of the relatives.

Then again, they found through DNA matching that the 10,000-year-old "Cheddar Man" (location, not the cheese) had a living relative, so maybe not so absurd anymore?

"Excuse me, but we found the grave of your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather, may we dig it up?"

Doc.

You mentioned the mummy that was stolen from a desecrated grave then put on display?

I feel like there was a few movies about why this is a bad idea.

There's a fine line between grave robbing and archeology....

Whether you work for the British government (circa 1800-1920s) or not
