Should archeologists be excavating tombs?

A story today is that the tomb of an ancient Egyptian High Priest has been discovered in the Saqqara pyramid complex.

Archaeologists in Egypt have made an exciting tomb discovery - the final resting place of a high priest, untouched for 4,400 years. Mostafa Waziri, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, described the find as "one of a kind in the last decades". The tomb, found in the Saqqara pyramid complex near Cairo, is filled with colourful hieroglyphs and statues of pharaohs. Decorative scenes show the owner, a royal priest named Wahtye, with his mother, wife and other relatives. Archaeologists will start excavating the tomb on 16 December, and expect more discoveries to follow - including the owner's sarcophagus.

The guy in the video excitedly says they ought to find furniture and other items within the sarcophagus itself.

I have been to the British Museum many times and the sight of the mummified remains seems mildly distasteful to me, although there are usually parties of school children who head straight for this section.

Should the dead just be left alone undisturbed, or is the curiosity of archaeologists supreme?
