The Massacre of the Mamelukes is an 1819 history painting by the French artist Horace Vernet. It depicts one of the final events in the rise to power of Egyptian ruler Muhammad Ali, when the Mamluk people was massacred at the Cairo Citadel in 1811. The painting shows Ali sitting calmly after ordering the killings, smoking his narguile as he watches the violence unfold. The Massacre of the Mamelukes, one of several versions of the scene produced by Vernet, was exhibited at the Salon of 1819 in Paris, and is now in the collection of the Musée de Picardie in Amiens, France.Painting credit: Horace Vernet

About me

Welcome to my User-page

Amaraaba = Welcome in Ghana

Today is Monday, December 1, 2025 - 12/1/2025* It is now 17:40 (GMT)

You wouldn't take the trouble to find this link and actually click on it if you didn't want to know who I was, and so I will tell you.

My Username

I was born outside my homeland Ghana in Geneva, Switzerland. My parents named me Amjad. Although a lot of people have trouble at times mentioning when they hear it for the first time. Its fun to see the confusion in people's faces when they are not really sure of how to mention.Here on Wikimedia and most of the Cyberspace I go by —Gramalow^✉; an acronym of my many names. Oh, I didn't tell you my family name is Abdullah and also I was born in a Leap Year in the Year of the Dragon.

My journey into Online collaborations

Wikimedia

Wikipedia

For the period I've been on Wikipedia, I have learned so many things which inspire me everyday to do what I do. To help contribute and share information to the masses who seek them. It is my honour to serve this platform and will continue to serve as much as possible to the best of my capacity and capabilities.

Sister projects

In the real world

I like the idea of meeting people from diverse backgrounds and learning from them. As we open ourselves to one another, there is an understanding and cordial relations with one another.
