EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821) and a group of scholars, known as savants, examining ancient Egyptian artifacts during Napoleon's Egyptian Campaign in 1798. The French army, under the command of Napoleon, had invaded Egypt in July of that year with the intention of expanding French influence and securing valuable resources. The campaign marked a significant turning point in world history, as it was the first European expedition to study the ancient civilization in depth. The savants, who accompanied the army to document and study the Egyptian culture, are seen here intently studying the antiquities with Napoleon. Many of these priceless artifacts, including the Rosetta Stone, would eventually make their way back to Paris, becoming the foundation of the Musée du Louvre's Egyptian collection. The historical significance of this event cannot be overstated, as it marked the beginning of modern Egyptology and the Western world's fascination with ancient Egyptian culture. This photograph, taken towards the end of the campaign, captures a moment of contemplation and discovery. Napoleon, with a thoughtful expression, looks on as the savants delve deeper into the mysteries of the ancient civilization. The Egyptian Campaign was not only a military victory for Napoleon but also a cultural triumph, paving the way for a new era of understanding and appreciation of the rich history of Egypt. This image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of the Egyptian Campaign on world history and the importance of exploration and discovery in shaping our understanding of the past.
