Egyptian authorities have just banned some Dutch curators & archaeologists...
From an article:
"Egyptian officials have banned Dutch archaeologists from the country after an exhibition was launched which portrays Black American singers, comedians and musicians as the rulers of ancient Egypt.
Dutch National Museum of Antiquities (RMO) in Leiden were condemned by the authorities in Cairo following the launch of their exhibition titled 'Kemet'...

LOL...a Dutch museum used an image of actor Eddie Murphy to portray Pharaoh Ramesses. Now Hawass boys in Egypt are pissed.
google: "Egypt bans Dutch Curators from Burial site and Accuses museum of 'falsifying history' over Portrayal of Black celebrities Beyonce, Rihanna, Nas and Eddie Murphy as Ancient Rulers" by Daniel Fessahaye.
Ha, this isn't even funny any more. Now the Egyptian officials are even denying Africans played any role in Kemetic history/civilization. Smdh
