I'm writing a paper on Ancient Egypt and it's effect on modern architecture. I need some ideas. The pyramids have inspired a Las Vegas casino The Luxor, A sports complex at Memphis Tennessee, and The Lourve's glass entranceway. Obelisks design inspired the design of the washington monument and can be found courtyards and gardens of today. Egyptian motif can be found pretty much everywhere.
Any ideas or input
please help!

There is ashopping mall somewhere in England whoch is Egyptian themed with a wall with what looks like an acurate representation of a temple wall scene but 1 of the gods has an electic drill!
Does anyone know where it is?

In Harrods, they have an entire floor in egyptian themes....

The Masons...google it...

in Manchester, also has a ancient Egyptian designed section that looks like temple walls. It's in the food court.

uhh does Empire State building, chrysler building and washington monument count?

also taipei 101 is one of the obelisk style structure

The old Black Cat cigaret factory - now apparently Grater London House near Mornington Crescent tube station is impressive with its brightly painted facade and pair of 2.5 meter Bastet statues.

There are many legends about the destruction of the great library in Alexandria 2000 years ago, but much less historical fact about the building itself has survived. Three libraries may have coexisted in the ancient city, but scant data remains about their location, layout, holdings, organization, administration, or physical structure.,.....

I will check out my 1923 Peace dollar to see what the figure on there looks like, and I will check some others I have.
But it will be up to others, to hopefully, post some coins with these images on them
This is going to get really interesting
I only have them on ancient coins.
