The history of the Middle East changed after this day

the day that Al-Albani and the leader of the Bashbuzuq, Muhammad Ali Pasha, killed all the Mamluk leaders after he was eating with them at the same table. It is said that he remained calm in a very suspicious way until the extermination process was completed that was in 1811 and called: (The Castle Massacre) At first glance, you will feel sad for the Mamluks, but the history of the Mamluks is a little complicated! For them, the throne of Egypt is the most important power on earth. So you see friend could kill his companion, or a student did the same with his Master the Mamluk prince, just so that he could sit on this throne literally for just one day, and then someone would come and kill him to sit in his place. This is not (the stories of One Thousand and One Nights), but rather it is the great Mamluk history, which is full of very exciting weird stories. Muhammad Ali Pasha realized this history (he did not know how to read or write then), but he realized that if he did not finish the Mamluks, they would finish him first... perhaps! I don't know, history is a deep dark well whose end you cannot see Here, one of my favourite artists, Horace Vernet, comes to depict for us that moment when the Mamluks knew that they were besieged between the walls of the castle, which was always filled with angry Basha-buzouks. He depicts for us the unprecedented calm of the pasha, and the faces of his frightened ministers, and under his right arm is a large lion, perhaps symbolizing courage or... It means that the victim falls between the merciless fangs and claws of the lion! It seems that the Norwegian artist Knud Bergslien liked to imitate the painting!
