ASMR - Egyptomania
Description
Dear friends, in this video I talk about egyptomania, from its start in the first years of the XIXth century after Napoleon's Egyptian Campaign to present day. Egyptomania (or the passion for Ancient Egypt) remains a reality today as an aspect of popular culture (in movies, novels, commercials, the leisure industry...); it also had an influence on decorative arts and architecture. I try to explain how and why this appeared, and how Ancient Egypt occupies a special place in the construction of national identities, especially in the USA.
Want to keep listening with the screen off?
To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).
To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
