    Fear of damaging the tomb, as mentioned near the end (archaeology is a destructive process in many cases, and there’s always new technology coming that could have told us more if we hadn’t disturbed something) is definitely a thing. I also think there’s a worry that it’s not what they think it is and there will be great disappointment. It’s not thought to have been looted in antiquity, but that also doesn’t mean it wasn’t.
