Welcome Extra Historians to Lies, where we talk about the mistakes we made and the details we couldn't quite squeeze into our Napoleon in Egypt Series. With questions like, why did the French invade Egypt without knowing anything about the country? What happened to Admiral Nelson's arm during the series? And how did French baguettes inspire so much food around the world?
