In addition, also brought dozens of packets of scientific equipment and measuring instruments. Before this expedition, spring, a meeting of scientists was being held in the lobby of the French Academy, where Napoleon astonished the first time expressing his great interest in Egyptian culture. Napoleon’s hand holding a Nibbling “Arab Tour”, from time to time knock on the cover of the book’s soft leather.
