November 29, 1798.
"It is really a freaky man cat," Napoleon thought to himself.
The scorching sun beat down on the vast desert, casting a harsh light upon the Great Sphinx of Giza. General Napoleon Bonaparte sat atop his camel. His eyes were fixed on the ancient monument, unmoving and deep in thought.
Beside him, an artist diligently worked on capturing the scene. With every stroke of the brush, he tried to immortalize the image of Napoleon against the backdrop of the Sphinx, the heat of the moment captured on canvas.
He had been in that position for almost thirty minutes, and he could feel the sweat trickling down his forehead. But he endured, as he believed that this painting would serve as a great propaganda purpose back in Egypt.
