Excellent. Stuff. And quite besides, it's not a conspiracy at all. If it was a conspiracy, it would have been planned. This was not planned, it just culturally evolved. Humbleness prevents good things from happening, and prevents people from being recognized for the good they've done. It is no virtue.
As for false god priests, I can regale you with the stories of the truth later, but suffice to say, the overwhelming majority of gods have lied to you about how things happened, and questioning them is dangerous to them, and humbleness prevents questions, so obviously, it would lead to them disliking the non-humble and declaring a terrible vice a virtue. Anyway, moving on.
>Gather the obvious surface level valuables, then get out a blade and do the dissection.
...tangential, why is this disrespectful? I expected "ew" but I didn't expect some strange moralizing about it. Everything was once living, yet we have no problem building things of the corpses of trees and grass, or writing upon the skin of sheep, or wearing clothes made of skin or fur or scales or plants. Surely there's no difference, and even if there were one, I fail to see how it is disrespectful to the dead to find out everything necessary to properly avenge them.
