Egypt bans Dutch archaeologists over controversial museum exhibition.

A Dutch museum's archaeology team has been banned from carrying out excavations in Egypt's Saqqara necropolis after the museum mounted an exhibition that drew condemnation from Egyptian authorities. The National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden received an email from the head of foreign missions of the Egyptian Antiquities Service saying that the museum is "falsifying history" with its "Afrocentric" approach. The museum has been carrying out annual excavations there for more than 40 years. Its most recent excavation campaign took place earlier this year, between February 19 and March 23.
