Pharaonism

Pharaonism was an ideology that rose to prominence in Egypt in the 1920s and 1930s. A version of Egyptian nationalism, it argued for the existence of an Egyptian national continuity from ancient times to the modern era, stressing the role of ancient Egypt and incorporating anti-colonial sentiment.^[1] Pharaonism's most notable advocate was Taha Hussein. The movement largely faded by the 1940s, having failed to resonate with most Egyptians, and was superseded by pan-Arabism and Islamism.

Since 2020, however, a popular and state-sponsored revival of the ideology, termed Neo-Pharaonism,^[2]^[3] has been taking place in Egypt.
