: Re: Why would a someone desecrate a pharaoh's tomb? I'm trying to find a believable reason for someone to open a clearly cursed tomb for my short story. I'm finding myself between the silly-but-different

For something completely different, Crazy religions fanatic.

We already have Westboro Baptist Church that performs baptisms and conversions of the dead against their will, but at least from a distance, so for horror take it another step.

Have a religious organisation unhappy that someone was burred with Egyptian rituals instead of Christian ones. This is particularly bad for them because of the importance of the individual, and perhaps this pharaoh's mention in the bible. So they want to break in, desecrate the Egyptian gods, perform a baptism on the mummy, and then rebury him as a Christian.
