King Tutankhamun's face reconstructed

BBC News reported in their site that the remains of Egypt's young ruler, Pharoah Tutankhamun was removed from its sarcophagus to be displayed for viewing public.

Archaeologists took the mummy from its stone sarcophagus and placed it in a climate-controlled case inside his tomb in Luxor's Valley of the Kings.

To be honest, I really don't understand why most archaeologists try to unearth a remain just for others to view it. Yes, we all know it's their work to uncover what had happened previously, report and publish them for the public to know as well, but aren't they crossing over the lines? Didn't they know how to respect the remains of someone who passed away? More so, the remains that they bastardized was no other than the remain of a Pharaoh, a ruler of Egypt. Besides, we all know that Egyptians' sarcophagus have curses and magics enveloped on it so as not to be disturbed by others.

So if you were given the chance, would you fly towards Egypt just to view the digital reconstructed face of a 19 year old Pharaoh who passed away long ago?
