Napoleon in Egypt.
Fagan, Brian
Humanities, v10 n1 p22-25 Jan-Feb 1989
Recounts the 1798 Egyptian campaign of Napoleon Bonaparte, whose Scientific and Artistic Commission documented and described the glories of ancient Egypt. The expedition was a disaster by military standards, but the cultural legacies included the Rosetta Stone, and a chronicle entitled "Description de L'Egypte," which did much to popularize Egyptology.
