Overview

Napoleon's attempt to conquer Egypt in 1798 was a mad dream, a fiasco, but it gave rise to a new science: Egyptology. The 3000 illustrations brought back from the expedition were published by order of the Emperor. They constitute invaluable testimony and we have reproduced them in full.

Reviews

In 1798, Napoleon invaded Egypt, taking with him an army of scholars to investigate the wonders of that mysterious and unknown land. Napoleon's expedition ended in disaster, but the record compiled by his scholars gave rise to the new science of Egyptology. All 3000 of their illustrations are reproduced in this invaluable book, spanning ancient statues to scenes of everyday life, ruined temples to insects and starfish. It is more than the founding document of Egyptology; it is also a work of considerable and often haunting beauty, imbued with a sense of wonder at sights not yet become overly familiar. (Kirkus UK)
