Napoleon in Egypt:
From the Pharaohs to Napoleon: Discoveries Continue in Alexandria. Even today ( Sep 2003) , the treasures of Egypt are still being rediscovered—sometimes spanning millennia in a single location! The Egyptian Department of Antiquity recently revealed the existence of a Pharaonic tomb dating from 400BC on Nelson Island, just four kilometers from Alexandria’s Abu Qir Bay. Finds by a team of Italian archeologists included three mummies, along with earthenware utensils, statues, and figurines adorned with texts from the Book of the Dead. But that’s not all. The English sank Napoleon’s fleet at Abu Qir in 1798, and the excavations yielded a treasure trove from the battle: the remains of soldiers, sailors and officers in uniforms, along with military gear, rosaries, and coffins and body wrappings, all well preserved in Mediterranean sands. There were even skeletons of newborns, as family members accompanied officers aboard ship.As these exciting discoveries are catalogued and protected, many are sure to be placed in the collection of the Qeit Bey Castle Museum, which already houses relics from Napoleon’s fleet. Travel in Style will be pleased to keep you informed of exciting new exhibitions

Des nouvelles découvertes en Alexandrie. . . et plus que jamais à visiter

Même aujourd'hui, les trésors de l'Egypte sont en cours d'être redécouverts- parfois comprennant des millénaires dans un seul emplacement!

Le Bureau de tourisme de l'Egypte a révélé récemment l'existence d'un tombeau Pharaonique datant de 400 AV. J-C sur l'Ile Nelson, à seulement quatre kilomètres de la baie d'Abu Qir d'Alexandrie. Les découvertes par une équipe d'archéologues Italiens ont inclus trois momies, des outils de faïence, des statues, et des figurines parés avec des textes du Livre de la mort.

Mais il y a plus. Les anglais ont coulé la flotte de Napoléon à Abu Qir en 1798, et les excavations ont produit un trésor provenant du combat: des restes de soldats, des marins et des officiers dans leurs uniformes, munis d'engrenage militaires, de chapelets, et d'emballages de cercueils et de corps, tous bien conservés dans les sables Méditerranés. Il y avait même des squelettes des nouveau-nés, démontrant l'accompagnement des officiers par des membres de leurs familles à bord du bateau.

A mesure que ces découvertes sont cataloguées et protégées, beaucoup d'objets seront placés dans la collection du Musée du Château de Qeit Bey, qui emmagasine déjà des vestiges de la flotte de Napoleon, y compris son phare, l'Orient.

Les découvertes récentes joignent la Nouvelle Bibliothèque, inauguré seulement l'année dernière, avec les premières attractions de l'Alexandrie. A la fois il faut mentionner la prochaine inauguration du Nouveau Musée dans un palais historique qui a abri anciennement le consulat des Etats-Unis.

Travel in Style arrangera avec plaisir une visite au site des découvertes, au Musée du Château de Qeit Bey, et à toutes les attractions de l'Alexandrie.
