Archaeology Will Respect Queen's Body

Queen's body will never be treated like this. British archaeologists like 

Howard Carter desecrated Pharaohs' tombs. Rest in peace is only for British royals.

Queen Elizabeth 11 will rest in peace literally, because no archaeologist will dig out her grave, poke her with instruments, spray her with chemicals and send her body to a museum, like they did with King Tutankhamen of Egypt.

British Egyptologists did not give kings of Egypt the same respect because they were not human. They were just objects like all black and brown people European invaders found in colonies.  Two things are private and sacred: how a child is born and how the dead are buried. Even twins don’t die on the same day.

Colonization was so god-like it did not answer the question, what right? What gives archaeology the right to dig out graves of kings from other countries? In search of knowledge. Wrong answer, because ‘knowledge’ will be from an English perspective. Archaeology will not touch the Queen’s body once she is in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

Egyptians respected the dead. They went an extra mile to make sure their kings rested in peace. British Egyptologists like Howard Carter are from a superior race that claimed the right to break and enter and desecrate tombs of the Pharaohs. Egyptians are a people. They know why they buried their kings like that. They never knew that colonization will come and put their naked bodies on display in museums.

The world seems to be in awe of how the British royal family bury their dead. That tradition is respected, not for Egypt. King Charles and his grand children have no fear that one day, archaeologists  will invade the Queen’s tomb and analyze it because she was a human being. She will never be subjected to pick and shovels of the subject called Archaeology.

The Pharaohs of Egypt were black and therefore dead British subjects with no right to privacy, even in death.
