Battle of the pyramids

A famous victory of the Egyptian campaign, the Battle of the Pyramids (July 21, 1798) saw the French Army of the East, under the orders of Bonaparte, stand against the more than 10,000 Mameluke cavalry, Arab cavalry, and 30,000 fellahs and janissaries commanded by Mourad-Bey.
Remaining in collective imagination, as well as in the works, which evoke them, as a battle at the foot of the great Pyramids, it actually took place at Embabech on the plateau of Giza, from where the famous pyramids only appeared as faint points in the distant landscape.
