There is endless education to be had, from diet to how people died, what medical procedures were done at the time, what diseases, etc., etc.
Also, in the case of something like Egyptian tombs, esp the ones of the wealthier or more famous -- looters have been looking for and looting those for centuries. 
Isn't it better to find, excavate, and treat respectfully than leave or replace and have stuff looted?
