Napoleon's Oracle was purportedly found as a papyrus roll in an Egyptian tomb during the French invasion of Alexandria and Cairo, Egypt, in 1798-1799. It was apparently one of Napoleon's most prized possessions. He had it translated into French, then into High German for greater secrecy, and it travelled with him everywhere. It is said that Napoleon relied upon the oracle for many years, and yet rejected its counsel when his pride and ambition became overwhelming - his downfall followed soon afterwards.
