In this music video Dark Horse by Katy Perry and Jessie J there are lots of Ancient Egyptian references and symbols.
Screenshots of the video:
People with animal faces were a common theme within the culture, the goddess Bastet was portrayed as a woman with the head of a cat, she was a protector goddess sometimes portrayed with the head of a lion.
This scene shows the dancers in a temple with Egyptian hieroglyphs and paintings on the wall.
Katy Perry is also sat on a throne that looks like the Sphinx.
The eye of Horus, symbol of protection and royal power, is being used as a magnifying glass.
In this image there are people with heads such as a Falcon, Cat and Jackal, all of these are representing gods or goddesses.
Small symbolism of the Pyramids.
Hieroglyphs are floating in the air behind her.
A god with the head of a crocodile was named Sobek, he was thought to protect the king.
This headdress is styled in the same way as Tutankhamun's death mask. Many statues were made from red granite and paintings on tomb walls showed men that had been painted as red, the people behind the pharaoh could be representing this.
The Pyramid.
