Now, just who could those wild men be?
The whole scene is a fairy tale including dragons and a unicorn none of the people in it are particular people with names much less Strasbourgs. The Moors in it are no more real than Zwarte Piet. As you recall the Moors were Muslims and did not conquer Germany or have a castle in Germany.
Marc you are way to deep into wishful thinking. It's a desire to be European. It's not afrocentric. The scene is no more real than Jack and the Beanstalk. Stop promoting fairy tales as history. If you posted the complete mural with enlargements of each section it would be obvious it is a fairy tale. But you don't in order to fool people. You don't indicate that the scene is a detail, it's trickery and bad "scholarship"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_man whites were known as wild men. This is a racist stereotype. The black elite was very bad! I like it Posts: 2922 | From: World Empire of the Black People | Registered: Jul 2011
