I have a lot of knowledge about Napoleon's Egyptian expedition. I quite knowledgeable about the Syrian campaign and the final stages of the French expedition.
video was great.I think the only point was wrong which was about delessps.he was working for his own not for egypt favor and thanks to him fall in debt and 120 thousand egyptians died in digging the canal.and in the end he helped the english to enter egypt.so I dont like to give that man any credit for anything.heused egypt friendship with france.
++ i forgot to say that Napoleon was one of the worlds most tolerant man. He respected every culture. He did extremly good things there in Egypt... But still he is described as a tyrant.
If that is the matter, then Napoleon is the best, smartest, and wisest Tyrant in this world.
I do not agree with the numbers of the Ottomans and Mamelukes in the battle of the pyramids.
It was 60000 mamelukes present, but only 21000 engaged.
The casualties of the Mamelukes where 6000, not 20000.
It was indeed an awesome battle, but the numbers of the Mamelukes are overated. In addition did the Mamelukes not have so many firearms, so they where forced to go into close range battle.
As a Scotsman, I feel like I've been cheated in history lessons by what seems the lack of French victories and expeditions such as these I see on this channel. No doubt those south of the border wouldn't want me to know otherwise, but everything I've seen so far has only put France in a poor light and England/Britain in the limelight...
@sday4857 Yeah thats propaganda. France is just like Persia the victim of Propaganda. Every French defeat is famous, but every french defeat is ignored.
Just like the Persians. They managed to create one of the worlds greatest empires, but still everyone is focusing on their defeats in southern Greece, but they ignore their victories in northern Greece.
Or their victories over the Egyptians and Scythians.
@sday4857 sadly true, i once watched an english documentary about the final year of ww1 and they never said a word about the french even though 70% of the allied line was french, 60% when the americans arrived and the few times they highlighted the french was when occasionally some were retreating...even today, even though they're "allies" it's like it's england's existential quest to downgrade france.
"The time I spent in Egypt was the most beautiful of my life because it was the most ideal" Napoleon. As emperor of Europe, Napoleon kept several units of Egyptian Mameluke soldiers in his armies. His most famous horse 'Marengo' was a present from an Egyptian ruler. Napoleon also had a faithful Mameluke bodyguard called Rostram (various spellings) whose freedom Napoleon obtained in Egypt.
This shows that Bonaparte was not a barbarian. He knew that being the conqueror gave him oportunity to explore and investigate. He truly was a man, above men.
Thank you for your positive comment , if you want to know more about French military history , you can watch the video " French military victories Part 1/2 " of the same author
Sorry but you forget General Pelissier and Marechal Canrobert for the Crimean war . You forget Marechal Mac Mahon for the 2nd war of Italian independence .Georges Clemenceau , Marechal Foch for WW1 . Genaral De Gaulle and General Leclerc for WW2 and many other like Jean Moulin for the French resistance
Dane Frederic Louis Norden, illustrated the Sphinx already without a nose in 1737 (published in 1755).
Some historians attribute the loss to iconoclasm by Muhammad Sa'im al-Dahr, a Sufi Muslim fanatic who wanted to destroy any signs of former religion in Egypt.
Charles Marie Bonaparte born in Ajaccio -> 27 march 1746 = at this moment he is -> Corsican
1766 : Corsica is once again French (Corsica was French during the Empire of Charlemagne (King of the Franc & Lombard (italian)) who defended the isle against the "sarrasins" with the Roman Curia) Charles Marie Bonaparte is now French.
Napoleon = 1769 = born in the French Region of Corsica.
@expertstrategy The important isn't to make philosophy about who is Napoleon but who this is to know who Napoleon served. France. And he didn't do all those things alone, he had the best Generals with him and the French elite to make his project working.
Then, during the Napoleonic time I think that any person telling that Napoleon wasn't French was executed, there's CLEARLY no doubt about that.
@DaGStormy, I have no problem with Napoleon's nationality, I'm just confused whether if he was born as an Italian or Corsican. Because from the way I read it, his parents were of Italian noblity, so doesn't that technicallly make Napoleon Italian by his heritage?
Magnificent choice of pictures,paintings and words... Congratulations. I am forwarding this to my Egyptian friends. From one stunningly refined culture (french) to another (egyptian).
Ouah, tes vidéos sur l'Histoire de France sont décidément masturbatoires !!! J'ai toujours été un grand passionné de géographie, mais beaucoup moins d'histoire. Mais tes vidéos sont tellement instructives et élégantes qu'elles me donnent fortement envie de me plonger dans le grand bain de l'Histoire de France !!!
"Ce sera à Napoléon qu'un jour on reconnaîtra le mérite d'avoir restitué à l' homme en Europe la supériorité sur l'homme d'affaires et le Philistin [] Napoléon, qui tenait la civilisation avec ses idées modernes pour une ennemie personnelle, s'est affirmé par cette hostilité comme l'un des plus grands continuateurs de la Renaissance ; c'est lui qui a ramené au jour tout un morceau de nature antique, le morceau décisif peut-être, le morceau de granit"
Oui, surtout venant d'un Allemand, même si celui-ci accordait plus d'importance à l'esprit qu'à la nationalité. Et le Philistin, à l'époque napoléonienne, on sait de qui il parle ;)
Le granit est l'une des roches les plus dures. Elle est magmatique et provient donc des entrailles de la terre. Je pense que ce symbole se suffit à lui même. Je ne vois pas de "code" ici.
If you don't have a French language version of this, could you send me the English language text so I can translate it for you? French speakers should have access to this too... unfortunately I don't speak or write Arabic, but I'll find someone who does. That way you'll have three versions of this video that can be understood and consulted by anyone who understands French, English or Arabic.
I saw your video on the Expedition to Egypt (1799 - 1801) and was impressed. I've added it to my favourites on YouTube and I've added the link to an exhibition on my profile on FaceBook.
Pour Hegel, le beau artistique est «très au-dessus de la nature », parce quil est œuvre de lesprit. Il a pour but « la présentation de la vérité » sous sa forme sensible et permet à lhomme daccéder à la conscience de soi. Alors que dire devant une si belle vidéo? Un humble Merci.
Quelle belle chanson, "Boléro de Ravel," une autre chanson avec temps forts et impressionnants!
Ses vidéos sont des leçons pour les apprenants nous!
Très beau!
Félicitations une fois de plus et vous remercie de m'avoir invité à nouveau aussi!
Je me sens laide en recevant votre invitation si opportune!
Dieu vous bénisse toujours et que votre vie soit remplie de la gloire et la victoire!
Visitez quand vous voulez, ma chaîne humbles, au moins pour dire 'Bonjour'.
