We're constantly digging up old and dead things because we care.

But they stay dead and we can study them at our leisure. If it was people who started walking around again doing stuff, we'd have a different opinion.

You really think if we could reanimate some ancient person, we wouldn't? Imagine what we could learn from important people in those times.
