"le Bolero" by Maurice Ravel.

[indexelbow]

"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"

Friedrich Nietzsche

magnifique citation que je ne connaissais pas !

Merci

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.

@sday4857 it's called propaganda...

@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.

@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.

Damn propaganda!

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.

So nice someone finally made a Napoleonic video with Ravel's Bolero.

[seedo201]

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.

[VictumRoManius]

++ 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.

(Sorry for my english)

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.

But anyways nice video dude.

Keep up the good work!

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...
