resurrect

An event or person that's resurrected has come back to life or been brought back from being forgotten or ignored.

The word "resurrected" often refers to something or someone that was once popular or important, but had faded away. Now it's been rediscovered and people are excited about it again - think of a famous movie that's become trendy after years of being out of style. This can happen with music too; an old song might be brought back by a new artist. Even old buildings or neighborhoods can be resurrected when they're restored to their former glory. Sometimes, we talk about people who were forgotten but are now remembered and celebrated as heroes or pioneers in their field - they've been resurrected from obscurity.
