Excluding religious figures here because that would be most people’s answer.

I’m going with either Cyrus The Great or Ghengis Khan

It would be fascinating to know what they looked like and all the other things we could learn from their bodies.

Honorable mention to Qin Shi Huangdi, we know where his body is but haven’t figured out a way to open the tomb without risking the destruction of everything inside

Ghengis Khan

I would say him too. Just because of how much his people went through to keep his corpse hidden.

Well if you're going to be that specific I gotta go with Cleopatra or Helen of Troy.

meh

It's not significantly more important than the way the Egyptians and the Pharaohs handled a lot of their burials

I think Alexander the great's tomb/buriel site site would be more interesting and maybe it's been found and destroyed
and we know where Genghis Khan is buried approximately

They went and killed every person that had anything to do with their burials?

Ghengis Khan is the only one I've ever heard that about. Can't remember exactly where I heard it. Hardcore History possibly.

Should be possible to determine how he died, if he was poisoned.

Genghis wanted to be re buried in the mountain range that was already so private that in effect he killed those involved in the burial

not those that knew where exactly or how to access the tomb

I get probably what Dan was saying but.. there is a broader understanding on the land/culture lacking ,.. context

We just already know so much about who he was, what he looked like, and what he did. I’m not sure we would learn much about him from discovering his body other than possibly his cause of death, and IMO it would just be the underwhelming answer of sickness.

Jesus, oh that’s right, that tomb is empty!!

And it was not lost, except to a major victory over death.

I know, he said non religious.
