This article is extremely unclear. Is Taha Hussein the most notable writer on Pharaonism or not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.88.66.233 (talk) 18:12, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
I've reverted edits that contradicted the source (Michael Wood)[edit]

Use of Wood[edit]
We do use him a lot for one section - but he seems useful, and I'm wondering if the deleted text below should be restored:
The purposes of Pharaonism was ultimately to promote the Westernization of Egypt by inspiring Egyptians to think of their nation as "European" at a time when the British were still occupying Egypt, but Wood noted that "a call to emulate the West would be expected to stand or fall on its own merits, rather than as part of a clumsy promotion of a Pharaonic past with which most Egyptians have refused to identify themselves."[1]
Other than that, I've reverted again because we need sources that specifically discuss the subject of the article, as Egyptian nationalism is not the same as Pharaonism. Doug Weller talk 13:14, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
