Clio's Lessons: French Revolution - Battle of the Pyramids
This battle's name is a bit of a misnomer as it sounds like Napoleon's
ankle could have been touching the closest pyramid to him instead the nearest pyramids were nine miles distant. Bonaparte's squares proved
toxic to the enemy troops who would soon be drowning in the Nile trying to get away from the French soldiers who probably
thirsted for whatever booty they could get off the slain soldiers either those killed in battle or those who had met the more
vulgar fate for them of drowning while trying to escape.
