Description: "Henry Salt is very excited that I can send young Memnon's bust to the British Museum. To succeed where the Napoleonic troops had failed, we would remember for a long time this snub to France. He writes for me a letter of mission and I point out to him that it is not with a piece of paper that I will move a statue of two tons. "
When he arrives in Egypt, Giambattista Belzoni (1778-1823), a two meter tall acrobat, does not expect to become one of the pioneers of Egyptology, much less having to negotiate with a crowd of hideouts, agas, caïmakans, peasants, boatmen, without forgetting the French consul, Bernardino Drovetti, who will do everything to defeat him.
