This is the rationale for not opening known tombs.

It’s not that we don’t want to see inside, we definitely do.

It’s just that we wouldn’t really gain anything right now, but 20-40 years from now we’ll have better tech. So it makes sense to “save” some for later instead of opening them all at once
