Howard Carter was a British archaeologist and Egyptologist who became world-famous after discovering the intact tomb of the 18th Dynasty Pharaoh, Tutankhamun (colloquially known as "King Tut" and "the boy king"), in November 1922.

Maybe, what can be referred as conflict is that Howard excavated and cleared the tomb with its thousands of objects continuing until 1932, and then when Howard died, his own tomb read a text from the "Wishing cup of Tutankhamun" saying:

<< "May your spirit live, may you spend millions of years, you who love Thebes, sitting with your face to the north wind, your eyes beholding happiness, and O night, spread thy wings over me as the imperishable stars." >>

This as a symbol of return or as honor and respect for the king, from which Howard had excavated.
