In this spectacular joint episode, Dominic Perry (The History of Egypt Podcast) and I team up to discuss the French Expedition to Egypt in 1798!

We recap the revolutionary events that preceded the expedition, as well as the various motivations behind Napoleon's undertaking. We also explore what Europeans knew of Ancient Egypt before the invasion, as well as the lasting legacy of Napoleon's expedition on the field of Egyptology.

With a Members' Q&A section and our thoughts on the new Napoleon film, you’ll love this wide-ranging discussion!
