thread_title: Merging "Egypt in the European imagination" and "Egyptomania"

message: in the caption of the Blashfield mural because - quess what?  The figure is labeled AMERICA in the painting.  Carptrash 17:29, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  I just changed "U.S." back to 'America" 

message: This is pretty near to an A-class article. The beginning reads like an essay, though, so that might need a little tweaking. I'm fiddling with the reference to the Mummy movies, since the first one at least was a remake and it seems strange to quote only recent movies when the whole history of Hollywood is full of mummy-themed horror.--Snowgrouse 08:17, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:The mummy.jpg

message: and I decided to move it here so that we can discuss it.
::"It has been determined, by more astute observers, that the Ancient Egyptians were a Middle Eastern people, and thus neither European nor Sub-Saharan."
While I think it might be true "more" is one of those words - more than what, more than who?- and if someone is going to quote "more astute observers" we really need to know whose those folk are.  Don't we?  Carptrash (talk) 17:35, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  this sentence just appeared 

message: I propose merging this article into Ancient Egypt in the Western imagination, since this article is redundant to that article. Harej (talk) 05:40, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article merger 

message: Then you should make a race of ancient Mesopotamian, ancient Chinese, ancient India, ancient Greece, ancient Rome, ancient Persia races sections.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.162.136.215 (talk) 16:47, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  If you are going to make a race of Ancient Egypt section 

message: I've tagged this article with  as it mainly looks at the U.S. POV. One key concern I have is the section on racial identity. Given that this article is supposed to be about 19th-century topics, is a discussion of contemporary African American identity really that appropriate for this page?

replies: text: It's just a very poor article, or one not actually on the usual meaning of Egyptomania (see complaints above). One approach (suggested above) is to redirect the current title to Ancient Egypt in the Western imagination, perhaps merging a bit of the content, and leave the American stuff here under a more specific title, Ancient Egypt in American culture perhaps.
