An exhibition displaying 50 pieces of Egyptian artifacts excavated with contributions from US archeologists opened Tuesday in Cairo. Entitled American Contribution to Egyptian Archeology, the exhibition shows various Egyptian monuments discovered in sites in southern Egypt, especially at Giza, Abydos and Luxor. The exhibition is a reflection of the joint US-Egyptian excavation teams and the US contribution to Egyptian archeology throughout the first half of the 20th century, its organizers said . . . . American excavation endeavours in Egypt started at the beginning of the 20th century at the time of the establishment of the MMA in 1906, and were bolstered with the opening of the American Research Centre in Egypt in 1948."
