When Napoleon slept in the great pyramid of Giza

In 1798, Napoleon led a massive military expedition into Egypt, known as the French Campaign in Egypt and Syria. The campaign aimed to disrupt British trade routes and establish French influence in the region. Accompanied by a team of scholars, scientists and artists, Napoleon set out to uncover the mysteries of ancient Egypt and gather knowledge about its culture, history and treasures.
During his Egyptian campaign, Napoleon's troops encountered stunning wonders of the ancient world, including the pyramids of Giza. These colossal structures, built as tombs for the pharaohs, captured Napoleon's imagination and sparked his curiosity about the secrets they might hold.
According to popular accounts, on the night of August 22, 1799, Napoleon entered the heart of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Accompanied by a few trusted individuals, he reportedly spent several hours exploring the labyrinthine chambers and even slept inside the structure.
This alleged act was seen as a symbolic gesture of conquest, asserting Napoleon's dominance over ancient Egypt.
Disputed claims
While the story of Napoleon's night at the Great Pyramid is ingrained in popular lore, its veracity has been the subject of debate among historians and scholars.
Some argue that the story was a fabrication or created to improve Napoleon's image and associate him with the pharaohs of Egypt.
Others claim that there is sufficient evidence to support the claim.
Një nga provat kryesore të cituara shpesh në favor të historisë është tregimi i Dominique Vivant Denon, një artist që shoqëroi ekspeditën e Napoleonit.
Kujtimet e Denon përshkruajnë një natë të kaluar brenda Piramidës së Madhe, duke përmendur praninë e Napoleonit dhe disa individëve të besuar.
Megjithatë, skeptikët argumentojnë se tregimi i Denonit mund të jetë ndikuar nga një dëshirë për të promovuar madhështinë e Napoleonit.
Përkundër skepticizmit, dëshmitë dhe të dhënat e tjera të asaj kohe japin mbështetje shtesë për pretendimin.
One such account is that of Colonel Ségur, who served in Napoleon's army and confirmed the general outline of the story. However, due to the limited evidence available, the exact details of Napoleon's supposed night inside the Great Pyramid remain shrouded in mystery. /Made in Alfa
