- The Battle of the Pyramids, also known as the Battle of Embabeh, was a major engagement fought on 21 July 1798 during the French Invasion of Egypt. The French army, under Napoleon Bonaparte, scored a decisive victory against the forces of the local Mamluk rulers, wiping out almost the entire Ottoman army located in Egypt. It was the battle where Napoleon employed the divisional square tactic to great effect. Actually a rectangle, the deployment of the French brigades into these massive formations repeatedly threw back multiple cavalry charges by the Mamluks.

In Egypt, Bonaparte was not dressed like that, he began to wear this precise uniform only in 1802, when he was "first consul".
Ntw can be pretty constricted in uniforms.
Real battle of pyramid scene is cavalry charge from mamluk warrior, who are beaten by grande armee with Cannon, gun and infantry square formation bayonet as spear
I think I read somewhere that the Battle of the Pyramids helped start the modernization of the Ottomans. Because of the advanced weaponry and tactics the French possessed, the Ottomans realized how far behind they were and would begin their military reforms to pattern their army to be more like that of Western Europe
Can't say they ever really modernized their army fully until WW1 and the partition of their empire, though...
The whole XIX was hard for the Ottoman empire. They tried to modernize their army, but the European powers were too much advanced at that time.
The Ottoman did modernize its military, by forming a "new model" army based on the latest European standard. This army called "Nizam-i Cedit", but this modernization failed due to its old-fashioned elite army, Janissary, who saw Nizam-i Cedit as a threat to their existence, revolted and dethroned Ottoman Sultan Selim III, then dissolved Nizam-i Cedit.
@@rickyhamidi2322 How foolish from them.
@Вхламинго what the hell are you talking about
Nostalgia hit me so hard when Napoleon spoke of Alexander. Seeing napoleon cavalry men wearing crested helmets is just a cherry on the top
Ah yes, imitating Alexander (Napoleon you lucky bastard)
@@wilmerbesitan1200 he also imitating roman Legion helmet, and he conquer italy. Napoleon you double lucky bastard 🤣
Actually imperial Ottoman army never involved in this war. Thay are local Mamelukes troops with Ottoman support like today's Turkish backed Syrian National Army in Syria.
Thanks for the information. It's always good when comments are interesting and intended to help other people. Did the Turks dispatch a relief force later? I used to have lots of books about Napoleon but I don't remember. I have at least one ancestor who was in one of the highland regiments in the peninsula...and Waterloo. Black watch i think. Not sure.
@@stephensinclair3771 Turkish reformed regular army with British support repulsed the Napoleon's siege of Acre
I think this is the best he was able to reenact the battle, as the game does not contain Egyptian Mameluk units.
Still, thanks for the facts.
@@niyazidemirtas9840 he never lost...he was out of troops and left
@Вхламинго Search up Nizam-i Cedid before rejecting a fact.
Bonaparte expedition acrossing Island of Malta, egypt and moving trought middle east until his stop in Syria is one of the most awesome things on earth, the few history that counts to me.
Stop in Palestine*
The campaign really lost steam after the failed Acre siege.
@@Dazzlefisher back then it was still syria
This was awesome! The closest we can ever come in our time to seeing what such battles looked like. Better than any movie ever made seeking to replicate such battles.
Thank you ! :)
Who's gonna tell him about "Waterloo" the film?
@@iggyharl5780 Good tastes
Ahh, poor Jonathan Cummings, you never watch War And Peace, Waterloo, Alexander the Great, etc.
@@Wolfen443 Yes, I have. I like this better.
i absoulutley love the napoleonic time period so pleases do more napoleon toatal war videos! thanks !!!!
I should make more videos from that period, gretings
I'm a Revolution guy/fan and Civil war
Wow exellent dude ! Did you think you would achieve thisa few years ago :O I really like the variety of shots , between the usual camera plans a little above the soldiers , but above all , the close shots ! i love them ! Congratulations !
Cordially
Thanks mate :)
Ugh wish I could remember the name of that book from high school that follows Napoleon from his childhood up to the battle for Waterloo. Remember there was a picture from it of Napoleons troops fighting beneath the pyramids and I thought it was the coolest looking thing ever.
Google it. I'm sure it's somewhere
@@lucianoiuorno2361 I tried no luck
@@rc59191 oh well. Hopefully you find it someday!
i think you mean Alexander Dumas right? I heard they have a book about him so I'm similar to what you saying
Oh my gosh he's back! LETS GO
Bro france lose 😐
Sorry this depiction is completely inaccurate. Ottoman infantry were not involved. The Mamelukes who ruled Egypt on behalf of the Ottomans were a unique warrior class who were all mounted (i.e. a cavalry force). Estimates of the numbers the French faced vary considerably but it is agreed by most historians at about 6-7,000 mounted accompanied by about 12-15000 retainers (servants who followed on foot) and fellahin (Egyptian peasants). The only infantry were a few thousand Sekkans (mainly Balkan mercenaries) and Cairo Janissaries (Egyptian militia) protecting the artillery dug in at Embabeh a village on the Nile several miles away and on the French left. The French formed several large squares with the small amount of cavalry they had available in the middle and placed their artillery at the corners at the front of each square, facing the long line of Mamelukes who made several wild charges (their only tactic!) but were shot down in front of the French squares. Over 2000 Mamelukes were thought to have been killed with another 1000 or so drowned trying the escape across the Nile. Several thousand Egyptian fellahin etc, also died for total French losses of 29 killed and 290 or so wounded.
Ottoman infantry was not main troops in this war.Mostly Mamluk cavalry fought. Ottoman infantry fought in el Ariş and siege of Akka.
Still ottoman was there and was almost wiped out running for their lives, in acre the ottomans had the british support, that time the british was the only equal of napoleon's france. Cant say the result would be the same had the ottomans fought napoleon on its own.
@@timc9823 Amiral Nelson taked Ottoman honour medal by Ottoman Sultan 3.Selim
@@timc9823 British support was above sea. they bombed land from the sea. Apart from that, the land army consisted of Ottomans and was led by Cezzar Ahmet Pasha.
@@emiryldz364 yes i know, the british navy captured french artillery resulting to a prolonged siege by the french, had there been no british support, the ottomans wouldeve been annhilated by french artillery alone.
On February 20, he captured Elarish Castle and continued on his way. There were occasional revolts of the Kölemen along the way, but he could not stop the advance of the army. He captured Gaza on 24 February and Jaffa on 5 March. 4000 Muslims were executed here to intimidate
On the 40th day of the movement, the French army arrived in front of Akka
Napoleon started propaganda alongside his attacks. He wanted to attract the people to his side and achieve a decisive victory.
The increasingly severe French attacks had yielded results 1.5 months after the siege began. The French had captured the Ali Burcu of the castle.But at the end of the same day, when Cezzar Ahmed Pasha detonated the arsenal in that area, the French attacks were halted and they had to withdraw from Ali Burcu
On the 52nd day of the siege, around 3000 Nizam-ı Cedid soldiers arrived from Rhodes Island. The already worn-out French army became demoralized upon hearing this. Against him was a larger army. Napoleon no longer thought of anything he could do.
On the 64th day of the siege, Napoleon made a sudden retreat. Because he understood that he could not capture this castle. The plan to colonize the Far East failed with the defeat of the Akkadian Siege. He withdrew, saying, "If the Turks had not stopped me in front of Akka, it would have been impossible to conquer the whole east", and left Sidda and Egypt to the Ottomans. Then the Paris Peace Act was signed with the Ottoman Empire. Napaleon accepted the defeat
A new excellent video !
Well done !
Thank you! Cheers!
"¡Soldados, desde lo alto de esas pirámides, cuarenta siglos os contemplan!" (Arenga de Napoleón a sus tropas antes de la batalla de las Pirámides)
Ottomans: "alright we're the defenders, that's mean we could use the terrains to use hit and run tactics, ambushed their supply lines multiple times and engage them in decisive battle when they're exhausted right?"
Murad Bey: "nah let's engage them right away"
Ottomans: "oh yeah we're all indeed sick mens"
Not really possible to do that in flat, open terrain like most of Egypt. Egypt is notoriously easy to conquer if you can get through the desert. Most people live in a flat, undefended, densely-populated area on either side of one river. And the Nile river makes transportation for invaders easy too.
Ottoman Empire Strong

awesome, big fan of your work thank you.
Thank you too!
Wrong title, these were Mamluks. Ottoman just support them back with logistical
As always great video mate ❗
Glad you enjoyed
Nice bro
Thanks
@@SandokanBattles no problem
@@SandokanBattles can you maybe do a tarsacan one fighting Aztecs and Tarascan win
@@SandokanBattles thanks for liking my comment
the french invading egypt was the most random thing ever if you think about it
Almost like he was sent their maybe to find something or destroy something ?
Wasn't Egypt under British rule at the time? Could've been that France was trying to take it over. France did have colonies in Northern Africa, so taking Egypt from the British doesn't seem to far fetched.
@@Saturnia2014 no, Egypt wasn’t under British rule. It’s more likely Napoleon just wanted to be like his idol, Alexander
@@lesdodoclips3915 he did it to try to stop imports from India reaching Britain
@@Saturnia2014 nope egypt wasnt under british control at that time, the ottomans were
Damn great!
From Craig. Cheers.
thanks Craig ;)
Just funny to see, Winning scene but still fired by Ottoman Artillery in the village to player's left (east of the map)
This is a masterpiece. Moverover, it is quite close to history.
The only shame is that Napoleon has become outdated with its graphics :(
Still tho the game look 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Square formation was not used when facing opposing infantry. Napoleons men went into square prior to the introduction of cavalry.
Love your video 👍
Greetings from Egypt 🇪🇬
Awesome! Thank you!
Pro Mustafa Kemal Atatürk !!! Noob Napolyon !!!
:D
@@ErenPasha-qi6of
What do you mean?
Great video but why do you have them formed in squares? Squares are for repelling cavalry attacks. And the enemy consisted mainly of armed citizenry which have very weak morale. 3-5 salvos from soldiers in a full line would break them immediately.
Come sempre un film Bellissimo
This is POG
Haha, clasic total war music - never gets old.
The men are fatigued sir, MUST REST.
great - but the background sounds almost overwhelm the narration...
Why are you formed in squares? Squares are for repelling cavalry attacks not infantry attacks.
Hi napolion nerd
Lol
@@zak-de1lq and he is also a nerd
I’m definitely right and a nerd. But not a Napoleon one a Wellington one. 🤣🤣
@@neilgibbs3880 wait is there a game with waligton
U should do the large battles like austerlitz and borodino with ntw3 its great
Bravo!!!
Correctikn : Mamluks with a little Ottoman support vs France
Buts it's mainly Mamluks
Ottomans were their rulers and masters . In 1768, Ali Bey Al-Kabir declared independence from the Ottomans. However, the Ottomans crushed the movement and retained their position after his defeat.
New Subscriber.
Thanks and welcome!
I love the way it showed the recoil of the twelve-pounder artillery pieces, as movies hardly ever do. But shooting exploding howitzer shells? Seriously, is it so hard to show transonic round shot or canister shot in flight and on impact against infantry formations? Or is too sanguinary to show even for such historical animation?
Napoleon used carcass shot
Learn history
What camera settings do you use? Amazing cinematic dude
just free camera, greetings
@@SandokanBattles Thank you! Have a wonderful day.
@@SandokanBattles May I ask how you get that small shake when recording?
@@saikoeditz7069 when editing in sony vegas but you can also turn on in the game
Really good
Thank you! Cheers!
By the way, there's a mod for Napoleon Total War called "Darth Mod". It makes units much larger, and whole battlefield more realistic. I recommend it for future videos about Napoleon's battles. Cheers.
Darthmod is not bad but several mods were released later.
LME is better I think but needs a good pc (he has a good one so it's ok) . I have a couple of mods that are not overhaul (units add, sounds, AI and flags).
There is NTW III too but it's a pain to make machinimas with this one.
I know but with that mods FPS dropping a lot :(
Let's go ...he back!!!!
enjoy mate ;) greetings
The battle seem to be between two groups where French were prepared and knew what they are going to do and other is doing the exact opposite
Good to see
I fricking love the Ottomans so much
Ottoman Empire was the only country that was happy about French Revolution until Napoleon attacked Egypt. They was happy because of the revolution Russia and Austria signed peace with ottomans. And Napoleon didn’t fight against ottoman Turks at Egypt he fought against local mamluk viceroys army because during this time ottomans were reforming their army. But Napoleon decided to go further and he beaten in acre by ottoman imperial army led by Cezzar Pasha I love Napoleon and Ottoman Empire too especially the era when ottoman and French were officially allies against Spain and Austria.
@@alisahinnnn I love the details you gave me i didnt know about any of those thanks :D
Russians and British defeated the ottomans though
The battle of Verdun please

Field artillery had explosive shells in those days?

Hey man How Do you Get These Frenchs Units
Its a game, Napoleon Total War
The Age of European Supremacy. And Napoleon just wasted it all or rather spent/expended it all so fast.
It was all worth it, just to get some Mameluke units !
The game of that the napleon total war is the best that i have ever play if you can buy it or download it and play it can lear you the history
Unfortunately just something like Battle of the Pyramids
Can you make the BATTLE OF BORODINO. please
Yes, I will made this battle soon, Greetings
What are their bisnis away from home?
Were good!
Napoleon could count on one of the finest armies in history but his fleet could not match the results of his land forces and it's such a shame really.
just imagine, what if Horation Nelson was a French admiral rather than a British one... world domination
@@sagagis Absolutely. Thomas Cochrane would have helped a lot as well.
Many commanders in the french navy were noble. When the Revolution began, many of them were kikced away and new ones were promoted. Obviously, they were less experimented, unlike on the ground where there is always battles where a new generation of commanders can gain experience. Not sure if a French Nelson could do better than the original one with less experienced captain under his command.
@@francoiscamy5066 Fair enough.
It was not only Nelson that beat the French !! Wellington never lost against FRANCE with a smaller Army !!
Still better than the new napoleon movie
Did you do this at play battle?
yes and after record it
@@SandokanBattles I cant find that map that you're using in your video.
as a Turk i respect napoleon so much he was a respectful enemy like baldwin IV
i really like enemies like this
What do you call those french units their uniforms are sexy
Hey sandokan battle, wouldn't you mind do the battle of waterloo? It's my favourite battle.

“There are two great virtues that elevate people: The bravery of the man and the chastity of the woman. In addition to these two virtues, there is a virtue that honors both men and women. To be so devoted to one's homeland that one can sacrifice one's life without hesitation. Turks are heroes who possess these qualities and virtues. That is why Turks can be killed, but they cannot be defeated."
Napoleon: In His Own Words on page 144.
