EGYPTIAN REVIVAL DESIGN - The Egyptian Revival flourished during the period 1820-1850, and was used in architecture initially for memorials, cemeteries, and official commemorative buildings. The Egyptian Revival made a comeback during the 1920’s with the Art Deco Style and the fascination with the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922.
