Ancient Egyptian Niche in Modern-Day Society

Kristen Wilkerson
Ancient Egyptian culture has of course been around since ancient days - hence the name. As businesses attempt to discover successful niche merchandise to offer consumers, a large number of people increasingly grow interested in Ancient Egyptian products.

What is the proof? Of all the articles this author has written, her three most popular posts involve ancient Egypt. In fact, a Google search for "ancient Egypt" turns up over 4.5 million hits, while "Egyptian" generates a whopping 38 million. The content is out there, and people are talking about Egyptian information, products, and history all over the world. Even within the Associated Content community, over 3000 articles include a discussion of "Egyptian" legends, myths, products, and people.

A few trends within the ancient Egyptian theme have emerged. People are interested in Egyptian ankhs to wear as necklaces, as evidenced by their high number of sales at Mystical Charm and other New Age type online stores. In addition, the high number of views of the article called "The Ancient Egyptian Ankh Symbol" , indicate a strong interest in the topic.

Besides the ankh, many visitors are also studying the astrology surrounding Ancient Egypt. Many people have written this author for more information about the Ancient Egyptian Zodiac and its twelve birth signs. Included in the dialogue, people wonder about wearing the birth sign as an amulet or necklace to keep their spiritual association close to their heart, and consumers seem to respond well to this concept.

Finally, the Eye of Horus also demonstrates its significance as visitors remark upon its significance to the Egyptian culture. In fact, the Eye of Horus appears on many American symbols and represents the seven senses. The article called "Symbolism of the Egyptian Eye of Horus Symbol" explains more.

Whatever interests you about Ancient Egypt, there seems to be something for you in modern society. From small Egyptian statues to symbolic jewelry, the trend indicates that Ancient Egyptian is the "new cool" of our society.

    Something I'm certainly interested in myself. Interesting to hear interest seems to be growing. :-) (I recently wrote on Tutankhamun.)

    The Pyramids are still around today...in design and structures. Their uniqueness is still something special that outlives their original designers.

    I can always see eyes in the clouds. The Eye of Horus is on the dollar bill, too.

    I've always been fascinated by Egypt. It appears many others are as well. Interesting that you picked up on that.

    Nicely done, when I was younger, I longed to be an archeologist because I was fascinated with Egypt's history. Cheers :)

    Very interesting. I think there is still a lot of interest in Egyptian symbols, and they might come in handy should the Annunaki decide to return in 2012. The Sumerian symbol of the staff with the snake wrapped around it is still used in the medical field.
