Whatever physical bit of them that remains is used politically or religiously as a means of control by hero worship... The important part has long since departed, so it is irrelevant...

It is strange how those who get the most elaborate tombs then end up getting them ripped apart and in some cases their remains displayed in a glass case like the Egyptian mummies I have seen. I do rather suspect that in a thousand years or so the wrinkled cadaver of Lady Diana will be on open display in a glass case somewhere. The sanctity of a grave seems to have an expiry date. Not that I really care, being irreligious, but it puzzles me how the religious can happily desecrate a grave after the passage of a mere few years of eternity. Anyway... nice photo And why did they remove it?
