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.
So the conflict could be the excavation of objects and everything, as disrespect for the dead king and compromise could be the fact that on his own deathbed he honored the life of that king with a phrase on his own tombstone - Howard's tombstone/
