Archaeology’s a surprisingly common one. Rhodesia on Great Zimbabwe is another example of this; the nature of Great Zimbabwe was uncontroversial outside Rhodesia, but the conventional view could get you in trouble _in_ Rhodesia.

Even in democratic countries, you sometimes get a degree of weirdness around archaeology and to some extent geology; during the Bush II era, some pressure was put on US national parks to push creationist stuff, say (doesn’t early-noughties right-wing behaviour seem quaint, now?)
