Behold... French ships are heading toward you, Egypt. A people who bear the burden of their woes must bear the burden of the invaders alone. The Sublime State, aware of Napoleon's intentions, did nothing. The Mamluks, with their embroidered robes and gold-encrusted swords, believe they are still in the age of knights. The French Revolution is coming to you, having left its slogans behind. Wake up, the modern age is knocking at your door. Power has rejected truth, Science has abandoned justice, Eloquence has abandoned logic.
