837 Plates of Egypt

When Napoleon Bonaparte went to Egypt he expected to just be annexing another part of territory for his growing empire. What he didn't expect though was to come out with 837 engravings by one of his scholars of what Egypt was like at the time. Since Napoleon didn't conquer Egypt, one can say that this was one of the best parts of his campaign including the Rosetta Stone. These engravings and the Rosetta Stone will be exhibited at Princeton on the 200th anniversary of the findings.
