During 1835 there was a period of architecture called 
the egyptian revival during which there was a lot of 
building made with a egyptian motif including a 
couple of prisons and courthouses. The Egyptian look 
was especialy popular with cemetary entrances and 
along the mississipi river, which include the towns 
of Cairo, Karnak, Memphis, and Thebes.

Neil Gaimen's novel "american gods" breifly centers 
on the presence of egyption mythos in american in a 
somewhat depressing way.
