In the United States, the representations of Egypt in our modern society are based on symbols of ancient Egyptian history.
From film and song to architecture, depictions of mummies, pyramids and sphinxes are often present.
For example, most Americans have seen the widely popular film “The Mummy.” In this film, Egypt is portrayed as vast desert where mummies and pyramids are main components of the plot.
We also see representations of ancient Egypt in popular architecture. For example, the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, is constructed to resemble a classic pyramid.
