Under stimulation of Ali’s Europeanized Reform in 1900s，a new intellectual class who accepted western liberalistic ideas came into being，and with the deepening of the Egyptian national crisis，they gradually turned into nationalists. During the 19th century，Egyptology was gradually spread in Egypt，and people’s interest in ancient Egyptian history gradually grew. In order to counteract political control and cultural plunder of colonialists，the Egyptian nationalist combined nationalism with Egyptology and ancient Egyptian history，and created a special nationalism，Pharaonism. The Pharaonists saw 1919 Revolution as a modern revival of the glory of ancient Egypt. Pharaonism was at peak when Tutankhamen’s tomb was discovered，and with the support of the government indigenous，Egyptology has made great progress. From late 1920s，the dispute and confliction over the tomb of Zaghlul was the beginning of the ebb of Pharaonic nationalism，which was further weakened by the abandonment of the doctrine of Pharaonism and the transformation of intellectuals from liberalism to Islamism. In 1940s，Pharaonism was completely replaced by Arab Nationalism，and since then Egyptian nationalism and local Egyptology broke up and embarked on their own independent development paths.
