Egyptian Revival architecture

Egyptian Revival architecture is a style inspired by the ancient Egyptian civilization, characterized by features such as columns resembling lotus or papyrus plants, hieroglyphic-like decorations, and motifs like scarabs and sphinxes. It emerged in the 19th century, especially after Napoleon's campaign in Egypt, and was used in buildings, monuments, and decorative arts to evoke a sense of grandeur, mystery, and timelessness. The style combines symbolic elements with bold, geometric forms, reflecting the fascination with Egypt’s ancient culture and its influence on modern design.
