Summary Learn the story of how Napoleon Bonaparte plotted to conquer Egypt and suffered a great defeat. He set sail for the land of the pharaohs bringing with him more than 17,000 troops, 700 horses, and 150 scientists. In the end, with his army dying of the plague and their ships sunken at the bottom of a Mediterranean Bay, the great leader and hero abandoned it all in the dead of night to flee back to France
