Spring of 1798: Napoleon sets out with 38,000 men and 10,000 sailors to conquer Egypt. He also brought along 167 men of science and arts to start a scientific mission to explore the land. It is the beginning of a scholarly encounter between the West and the Muslim world.

  1. The 3rd world people who inhabit Egypt today are not linked by dna to those who built the first world civilization. You can see the effects of multiculturalism and diversity when looking at what has taken place in Egypt today.

  2. This is for people who passively watch and think theyā€™re getting real historyā€¦.but itā€™s not. In fact, if youā€™ve not read anything about Napoleon and his time, you wonā€™t even know what the makers of ā€œdocumentariesā€ decide to distort to increase dramatic value, or the vast amount of information thatā€™s left out, or the stuff thatā€™s just WRONG (Napoleon knowing what an atom is??? No way!). R E A D !!!

  3. I've only recently begun to dig into Napoleonic history, but I already knew some of his Egyptian experience. Unfortunately I completely bypassed and neglected the scholars that went with him. For everything they did, I focused too much on Napoleon's military campaign. Not asking for a separate video, but if I could know the name of these men's writings, I would be appreciative.
    I've read books and watched Documentaries on Egypt, on this channel to, but would like to hear how these men saw the sights and made their own observations.
    Also, again, the beautiful 3d military scenes and actors are fantastic, grand work!

  4. Napoleon took Egypt. He just couldn't hold it after Nelson destroyed his fleet. In fact British would never have taken Egypt if Napoleon didn't conquer it first.

  5. I love this series. I cannot get over the fact Napoleon used the atom as a reference in conversation, though; about 30 years too early to Daltonā€™s discovery.

  6. when have a wmd like a plague // Q – time own but send the infected toward the enemies' lines allow the men to die in battle over the uselessness of slowness and at the same time the wmd might do what it did to more than one leader over time
    more than once prisoners infected, taken to the capitol, to meet higher ups, usually leads to them upps beings dead and a win by wmd //
    butq-time one's own personnel // masks ON duh!

  7. Because Napoleon was ethnically Slovenian-Serb, they immigrated to Corsican during the days of Croatian Empire. If he was Croatian he would have conquered all of Africa and sent Serbs and Cigans to live there to ride tractors. Wellington was Albanian.
