NAPOLEON BONAPARTE IN EGYPT
On July 1, 1798, Napoleon landed in Egypt with 400 ships and 54,000 men and proceeded to
invade the country, as he had recently invaded Italy. But this Egyptian invasion was to be
different. For, in addition to soldiers and sailors, Napoleon brought along 150 savants
scientists, engineers and scholars whose responsibility was to capture, not Egyptian soil, but
Egyptian culture and history. And while the military invasion was an ultimate failure, the
scholarly one was successful beyond anyones expectations.
