1821

In 1821 Napoléon Bonaparte was dying on the island of St Helena. During this period, he began to reveal to his close friend, Jean Tombier, what he had seen before in the Great Pyramid in Egypt in 1798. Though Tombier had actually been with Bonaparte on the Egyptian expedition, he had never known what exactly Bonaparte had seen. He was extremely interested when, in 1821, the ex-emperor began to talk of the incident. However, Bonaparte failed to finish the story, and Tombier probably never learned what had happened in the pyramid. (MA: The Sands of Time)
