African traveler Count Antonelli's Rome lecture tale
In Rome Count Antonelli describes a ceremony with a sultan of Angsa, a blood oath, and a prophetic mystic among Danakil guards. He recounts the sultan's daughters, a triangle of power, and a ritual exchange that labels the white visitor as a brother. The narrative shifts to German forest school life and royal forest management.
