So in CS 348 today somebody was talking about how no-one seems to object to archaeologists digging up mummies even though we'd raise hell if someone did it to us. Later the point was raised that the Egyptians believed that they needed their body preserved to enter the afterlife, so dissecting it could have all sorts of implications.
At which time I pointed out that then all we'd need to do would be to have the Mormons posthumously baptize them. Then--voila!--back in heaven they go!
This got me to thinking about a team of Mormon tomb-robbers who break into the pyramids in order to baptize King Tut. Hilarity ensues.
I think the idea has merit.
