Egiptomania

"Evolusi Peradaban", sebuah bagian dari mural karya Edwin Blashfield (1895) di atas Ruang Baca Utama dari Perpustakaan Kongres. Gambar tersebut menunjukkan hubungan antara Mesir sebagai "peradaban" pertama dan Amerika sebagai "peradaban" terbaru.

Egiptomania adalah peminatan terbarukan dari bangsa Eropa di Mesir kuno pada abad kesembilan belas pada abad kesembilan belas sebagai hasil dari Kampanye Mesir oleh Napoleon (1798–1801) dan, terutama, sebagai hasil dari kajian ilmiah khusus reruntuhan dan budaya Mesir kuno yang terinspirasi oleh kampanye tersebut. Selain dampak aestetik pada sastra, seni dan arsitektur, ini juga memainkan peran dalam diskusi tentang ras, gender dan identitas nasional.
