  Egyptian Revival - The Influence...

  Omar Khalil

  The fascination with Ancient Egypt has influenced architectural and artistic movements for centuries, culminating in what is known as the Egyptian Revival. This movement, characterized by its adaptation of ancient Egyptian motifs, emerged in response to rediscoveries of Egypt’s past. The revival gained traction during the 18th and 19th centuries, driven by archaeological discoveries, historical curiosity, and a growing appreciation for non-European artistic traditions. 
  One of the key moments that ignited interest in Ancient Egypt was Napoleon Bonaparte’s Egyptian campaign (1798–1801). This military expedition was not just an act of conquest but also a scientific endeavor that brought scholars, artists, and historians to document Egypt’s ancient ruins. The most significant outcome of this campaign was the publication of the “Description de l'Égypte,” a comprehensive collection of illustrations and studies that introduced Europe to the architectural grandeur of Egypt. The discovery of the Rosetta Stone in 1799 further fueled this fascination, as it eventually led to the deciphering of Egyptian hieroglyphics, allowing deeper insights into the civilization’s history and culture. 
  The widespread enthusiasm for Ancient Egypt in the early 19th century gave rise to what historians call “Egyptomania.” This cultural phenomenon influenced literature, fashion, decorative arts, and architecture. Egyptian imagery, including sphinxes, obelisks, and pyramidal forms, began to appear in European cityscapes. The influence was particularly noticeable in monumental architecture, where designers sought to capture the imposing and symbolic nature of ancient Egyptian structures. The fascination with Egypt was further fueled by colonial expansion, as European powers took a vested interest in the region’s antiquities.

  This groundbreaking resource moves us from theory to action with a practical plan for reparations. 
   
   
    
  A surge in interest in black reparations is taking place in America on a scale not seen since the Reconstruction Era. The Black Reparations Project gathers an accomplished interdisciplinary team of scholars—members of the Reparations Planning Committee—who have considered the issues pertinent to making reparations happen. This book will be an essential resource in the national conversation going forward. 
   
   
    
  The first section of The Black Reparations Project crystallizes the rationale for reparations, cataloguing centuries of racial repression, discrimination, violence, mass incarceration, and the immense black-white wealth gap. Drawing on the contributors' expertise in economics, history, law, public policy, public health, and education, the second section unfurls direct guidance for building and implementing a reparations program, including draft legislation that addresses how the program should be financed and how claimants can be identified and compensated. Rigorous and comprehensive, The Black Reparations Project will motivate, guide, and speed the final leg of the journey for justice.
