                                          Chapter 11 – A Literal Prophecy
                   the          Egyptians                  to         reorganize                   their


               government  as  it  was  before  the  French


               invasion.  He  asked  of  the  Egyptians  neither


               soldiers, guns, nor fortifications, but left them


               to  manage  their  own  affairs  independently,


               with  the  important  exception  of  putting  the



               nation under tribute to himself. In the articles


               of  agreement  between  the  sultan  and  the


               pasha  of  Egypt,  it  was  stipulated  that  the


               Egyptians should pay annually to the Turkish


               government  a  certain  amount  of  gold  and


               silver, and ‘six hundred thousand measures of


               corn, and four hundred thousand of barley.’”



               “The  Libyans  and  the  Ethiopians,”  “the


               Cushim,”  says  Dr.  Clarke,  “the  unconquered


               Arabs,” who have sought the friendship of the


               Turks,  and  many  of  whom  are  tributary  to


               them to the present time.
