Setting:
Egypt -- early 1800's. Napoleon has landed on the shores at Alexandria and has pushed inland to Cairo. For the first time ever, European eyes gaze upon the vast beauty of the arts, culture and landscape of Egypt. Will they be enlightened by what they learn? Or will they seek to destroy that which is unknown to them?
