Ingress Into Egypt: Napoleon, Tipu Sultan And Their Battles To End The ‘Iron Yoke’ Of England
Once celebrated as ‘the temple of the whole world’, Egypt was the repository of infinite knowledge in myriad disciplines that marked the apogee of humankind’s accomplishments over millennia. Like a beacon, the northern African nation disseminated the fundamentals of literature, art, architecture, science, medicine, religion, and kingship far and wide.
Mother Egypt lovingly embraced all those who sojourned to her glistening shores, braving the dangerous oceans and unsparing deserts. Endless was the list of commoners and kings forever entranced by the country’s infinite allure; each one transformed by his or her unrivalled experience in this crucible of myth, magic, and mysticism.
