East Africa, relative to the entire world, Africa is also a desert of civilization; the splendid ancient Egyptian civilization supported the entire narrative of African civilization.
But Ernst never considered Egypt as part of Africa. When thinking of Africa, Ernst instinctively excludes all of North Africa. The vast Sahara Desert, like a galaxy, divides Africa into two worlds.
The indigenous people on the East African plains were not part of Ernst's civilized world. They were too wild and unruly, making Ernst feel they merged with the vast African continent.
In his conscience, Ernst was not willing to break the indigenous way of life, which involved dance with beasts for thousands of years.
However, even without Ernst, other colonizers would disrupt the tranquility of this land; therefore, Western colonizers were the true destroyers of this world.
