After having seen the latest Napoleon blockbuster film.. it’s truly delightful to see someone who truly portrays Napoleon accuretly and correctly. Well Done Epic History!

I remember playing this campaign in Napoleon Total War. This is amazing.

I thought it was just Napoleon shooting at the pyramids, but hey, Ridley Scott seems to think the same.

What a life this man he marched on Berlin, Cairo, Madrid, Moscow, Lisbon, Rome, Milan, Vienna, Warsaw.

In just 6 days, Napoleon able to reorganized Malta. It's quite rare to see a military leader is also an excellent administrator.

France literally just sent this man on a side quest

Napoleon's story has much more engaging plot than most (if not all) shows I've seen. And narration only makes it better.

7:10 Thomas-Alexandre Dumas was also the father of famed French author Alexandre Dumas, the author of "The Three Musketeers". He used his father (who died in Napoleon's bad graces in his youth - the elder Dumas often verbally clashed with Napoleon during the campaign, so the latter let him rot for several years in a Neapolitan prison after he was captured returning from Egypt, before securing his release) as the model for the Count of Monte Cristo in the book of the same name. 23:40 The description of Talleyrand as "brilliant, urbane, and slippery" is probably the best description I've ever heard for him, other than Napoleon's infamous scatological tirade.

This video had more action than the battle scene in Ridley Scott’s movie when Napoleon went to Egypt. The entire “battle” consisted of Napoleon, shooting two cannons shots at the pyramids. I was so excited for this movie, but really, Scott just took something that had so much potential and flushed it down the toilet.

Your presentation of these epic times in history is unmatched. The animations, maps, art work, diagrams, charts, voice work, research, etc. are all so well done. These videos are part of history themselves now, and as visual media becomes more popular, it’s something future generations are blessed to have.

Already seen this masterpiece on Nebula. Genuinely one of the best videos I’ve ever watched!

After seeing the Ridley Scott movie… A new Napoleonic episode by Epic History TV is exáctly what we need! 👌

Timing couldn’t have been better. The last couple of weeks I’ve been rewatching your Napoleonic Wars playlist and realized you guys completely skipped Egypt which was uncharacteristic of you. I thought “no chance they leave a gap like this in the timeline. Surely they are cooking something.” Lo and behold, you guys were indeed “cooking something”

THANKS. I am a history major at university. I have listened to all your documentaries on Napoleon and I can tell you that they are the best documentaries I have ever seen.

A brilliant military genius. A tactical mad dog. One man, who irrevocably changed the course of human history before he was even 40, only rivaled by Alexander himself. As one of Anglo descent themselves, you can't help but have a tinge of admiration that mankind could put forth such a stalwart soul.

I cannot get enough Napoleon from EpichistoryTV! thank you so much for the quality you guys put into these documentaries!

As Egyptian i can say this video is truly magnificent , i read and watched many episodes from other history channels about Napoleon french campaign but no one have discuss it such precise and details .. really appreciate your efforts keep it up

It’s so cool seeing the names of Napoleon’s future Marshals pop up in these early years, especially how they distinguish themselves

FINALLY DAVOUT AND DESAIX APPEAR, GREAT VIDEO GUYS

Who is gonna give this man 60 million to do an actual good Napoleon movie?

Can't thank God enough for this amazing channel. Truly appreciate your efforts guys. ❤

This is one of the best historical episodes on all of UKposts. A masterpiece comparable to Hannibal's Cannae or Napoléon's Austerlitz. Epic History TV and HistoryMarche these are two of the best history channels in the world. I'm delighted.

Gracias por seguir produciendo estas joyas, que para mi es el mejor canal de documentales sobre napoleón, muy por encima a muchas películas incluyendo la ultima. Espero sigan sacando mas.

Over the years Epic History has nailed a formula, like a sine curve, of context, then action. Your episodic pacing is great, too. Within 30 seconds of the start of every video I’m engaged and excited, and at the end of every video I’m excited to know what’s next, and to know more. You’ve done incredible work, and as you can tell from the comments, you have lots of grateful fans!

Such an immersive experience to fire up a huge jibber and bang an episode of Napoleonic Epic History. Great job all

Thank you from France for telling in a such intelligent and nuanced point of view the great story of our Emperor🇫🇷

"The Black Devil" is also the father of the great author Alexandre Dumas. Writer of the The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo. I recommend reading The Black Count by Tom Reiss if you want to learn more about him!

Wow when a thirty minute UKposts documentary is better than a multimillion dollar blockbuster 😂

This guy is actually my favorite youtuber

Been looking forward to this one, and can't wait for the Napoleons second Italian campaing during the war of the Second Coalition once its done, with battles such as Marengo. Keep it up Epic!

This is one of the best history channels on UKposts cannot say how much I appreciate the content y’all produce. Especially on Napoleon

Napoleon had immense skill no doubt, but holy shit he was so goddamn LUCKY too. That story of Nelson just missing him TWICE made me laugh. Goes to show how much history’s great figures are made my sheer chance as well as skill

17:47 Naval Battle of Nile is one of most complate decisive naval victories of any era , upturning strategic situation and Napoleon's position in Egypt complately and made Royal Navy dominant naval force in Mediterranean Sea. Nelson actually only had 13 ships of line when he ordered to attack on French squadron in Aboukir bay on the evening of 1st August 1798 (one of British ships of line HMS Culloden grounded on shallows en route before Alexandria and did not participate the battle) and furthermore Nelson had no frigates while Admiral Bureys commanding French squadron had four frigates which he could put up a combat patrol offshore and he did not so and caught unprepared.

YESSSS ANOTHER EPIC HISTORY UPDATE ON NAPOLEON. MY DAY IS MADE!

Davout’s cameo in this episode made me so excited!

We need Part 2 ASAP.

Absolutely love it. I can’t wait for Part 2. 🙏

Love the Napoleon content. I got hooked with Eylau and have been researching and watching ever since

I know most of you won't even believe me, but I'm ADDICTED to this channel these days (The Napoleonic Videos to be specific), yesterday when I was asleep I dreamt of how cool it would be if Epic History TV made a video about Napoleon In Egypt and especially the battle of the Pyramids, and man DREAMS DO COME TRUE, I'm speechless!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH EPIC HISTORY TV for making my dream a reality ♥

Since he didn't mention. Battle of the Nile-Battle of Aboukir Bay (the Naval battle mentioned in the video) is one of the most stunning victory by Admiral Nelson. So basically at the Mediterranean Sea near the mouth of the Nile River in Egypt. The French fleet, commanded by Admiral François-Paul, was anchored in a strong defensive position in Aboukir Bay. The French believed they were safe, with their ships arranged in a line parallel to the coast (basically a Wall of Canons Along the Coast forcing a British to a naval duel) offering protection from an attack by sea. But FOR SOME REASON NELSON DESTROYED THAT ASSUMPTION. Nelson, leading a fleet of British warships, executed a bold and unexpected maneuver. He noticed gaps in the French line (The ship at the top of the line with its head pointing to the peak of Aboukir Bay) and the shallow waters that were thought to be impassable for Big Flagships vessels. Nelson daringly navigated his fleet in a line along the coast straight at the opposite direction of french, and splitting his fleet, with more than 1/3 of fleet pierce through these gaps (basically a 1-man-size gap (in this case, ship)), and others on the facing the French heads on, by this, he positioned his ships on both sides of the French line. This allowed the British to fire from both sides in a fierce and devastating attack. (imagine the 300 scene where the Spartans line up the army between the mountains so if the Persian wanted to pass, they have to go fight through them, but Nelson see a gap near one of the side of the mountain, pushed many soliders through this little gap that barely fit swiftly and flanked the Spartans on both side ... yeah ... not to mention the water is extremely shallow) The battle unfolded into the night, illuminated by the flashes of cannon fire. The French fleet was caught off guard and suffered heavy damage. The British ships relentlessly bombarded their French counterparts, causing chaos and destruction (Getting bombarded from both side especially from the side near the coast with extremely shallow water that you thought is where your friends are for me is EXTREMELY CONFUSING for the French, especially, all this happened at night). The French flagship, 'L'Orient,' suffered a catastrophic explosion, serving as a dramatic climax to the battle. By the end of the engagement, the French fleet was decimated, losing several ships, including their flagship, while the British suffered far fewer casualties. Nelson's victory at the Battle of the Nile effectively cut off Napoleon’s army in Egypt from reinforcements and support from France, significantly weakening French strategic positions in the Mediterranean. WHAT A MAD LAD! You guys should check out the animation recreating the battle from UKposts

Much needed relief after the latest assault on historical accuracy by the film industry. I cannot thank you enough for your Napoleonic series. We can all agree that what's actually needed is a Napoleon Dramatic Series instead of a simple movie... and hereby I propose you as military history advisor if it's ever made

Great imagery, especially the French ships at sea! Nice work, Epic History team.

I adore this series, the story of Napoleon is the most interesting in history to me

Hi epichistory i just want to thank you I come from France and love napoleon history Your video are really understable and really cool ! Thank you for your work !

I have to say that the music tracks are very well done!

Wow ! The beginning and the music surprised me a lot.

So much better than that recent Ridley Scott abomination ... thank you!

There is not a single UKposts video that matches this about Napoleon in Egypt. Thank you very much!

Absolutely stunning work as always!

I have been waiting for you guys to cover the Egyptian campaign for years. This is a marvelous day!

Perfect video, thank you Epic History TV! just in time for Christmas!!

Well done! Splendid video, thank you for continuing to elaborate on Napoleon's campaigns!

FINALLY EGYPT!! I've been waiting for this one. Thanks so much

❤❤❤ best free history channel to date. Thank you for this on behalf of all of us whom enjoy and rewatch your videos very great job 👏

Incredible video! Another masterpiece on a historical theme, also about Napoleon. Visualization is simply luxurious, magnificent.

Napoleon's quotes are the best. Thanks for including them in your videos! In my opinion, they say much more about his character than what was portrayed in the Ridley Scott movie. A is A.

@EpichistoryTv thank you for mentioning Thomas Alexandre Dumas. His career is truly one of the great What-Ifs of the Napoleonic wars! I really hope we hear more about the fallout between him and Napoleon.

It's impressive to witness the channel's ability to consistently produce a variety of videos. In the past 13 months, we've been treated to content on topics such as Napoleon in Italy, The Abbasids, the Decembrists, Eylau, Kolchak, and now this! Your commitment to delivering top-notch quality is truly commendable, making your history UKposts channel stand out as one of the best!" 📚🎥🌟

Absolutely brilliant! I can't wait for the next part. Merry christmas!

Been waiting For this one for a long te me! Thanks as always For your dedication! 🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What, you mean Napoleon didn't shoot the pyramids and ragequit due to infidelity?! But seriously, these Napoleonic documentaries are a balm for me.

Can you guys cover Archduke Charles 1796 Rhineland campaign where he beat Moreau and Jourdan?

One of the best historical channels very objective with amazing narrating and very beautiful backgrounds music

Excellent video again, Great work guys!

Bravo! Another victory for your channel. I was reading about the Boxer rebellion the other day and realized what a perfect mini series that would make for your channel.

Once again, a beautiful video. Thank you so much for bringing our beautiful French history to life. « Vive l'empereur, Vive Bonaparte »

Epic history tv never fails to deliver amazing videos

Watched this for many years, never been disappointed. So good, and a lot of information! So sad that the movie (napoleon 2023) didn’t give more information about Egypt. 2 cannonballs on pyramids. That’s it. Thanks for good watching, will never stop follow this channel.

Brilliant work. Merry Christmas, Epic History.

this is gonna be incredibly good! it is Epic History TV after all.

Boy it’s going to be a mighty sad day when EH simply runs out of Napoléonic content.

This hase become my most favorite channel on youtube. By far.

I was waiting for this for so long. Thank you

Can't wait thank you so much

Great video, wish it went more into depth with the Battle of Aboukir Bay like it did with the battle of the pyramids.

Fantastic episode as always. Cannot wait for the next

Thank you for the effort involved in making such art. You have my devotion.

Napoleon history series is one of the most amazing historical series ever literally gave me goosebumps and a nostalgia of an era I was never even born in.
