I'm trying to write a book, but I have a problem. Maybe /lit/ can help? It's a fantasy book set in the modern day. I need a reason why an Ancient Egyptian sarcophagus would be taken to the United States to study, since I know they're not normally moved around like that anymore.
Ultra rich dude who fucks little boys funded the move on the qt. He believes the sarcophagus to hold the remains of a little boy.

To be used as a press campaign to fund archaeology projects.

A new type of machine based at a US university will be able to shed new light on etc etc
Someone stole it long ago, it's been in the US and it's finally been rediscovered. Normally we'd do the right thing and return in but relations with Egypt are at a low point, and nobody feels an obligation to return it because fuck them.
Or it was transported to protect it from being destroyed by radicals like so many other archaeological sites in the middle East and North Africa
Theyre putting it in one of them extremely advanced cat scan devices. It only exists in the us and is immovable.
