Egypt Bans Dutch Archaeologists Over Museum's 'Afrocentric' Exhibition and Black Culture Exploration.

A Dutch museum's archaeology team has been banned from excavating in Egypt's Saqqara necropolis after the museum mounted an exhibition that drew condemnation from Egyptian authorities. The National Museum of Antiquities (RMO) 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.
