	The Congo Expedition: Early Ethnography
		The stories were modified as Europeans encountered actual Zande and Mangbetu people, but exaggeration, distortion, and the elaboration of these fantasies continued well into the twentieth century, if not to this day.
		Beginning with the first European encounter with the Mangbetu--the meeting between the German botanist Georg Schweinfurth and King Mbunza in 1870--the Mangbetu were stereotyped in myth.
		Schweinfurth's florid account of the Mangbetu court in 1874 provided a model for subsequent descriptions, most of which exaggerated the power of the rulers and the prevalence of cannibalism.

		At the time when Georg Schweinfurth, Theodor von Heuglin, Romolo Gessi, John Petherick, and Wilhelm Junker were in Bahr-el-Ghazal province, the region was in the throes of cultural upheaval and wracked by periods of war and conquest.
		Such sculptures portrayed the deceased, but the tombs themselves were also intended to show the rank he had attained in society through prowess in hunting and subsequent feast giving, and thus the influence he could exert on the living from the thereafter.
		They probably belonged to the type of figural sculpture placed in the house in memory of the deceased that was described by Georg Schweinfurth, or are similar to those erected on either side of the road leading to the village noted by J. Petherick.

		Zwar hatte sich Georg Schweinfurth schon in seiner Dissertation mit Pflanzen der Nilländer beschäftigt, doch erst nach seiner Ankunft in Ägypten begann ein Strom von Publikationen über dieses Land zu erscheinen.
		Es konnte nicht ausbleiben, daß sich Georg Schweinfurth auch mit der Pflanzenwelt des Alten Ägypten zu beschäftigen begann, lebte er doch in jenem Land, in dem laufend Grabungen stattfanden, in jenen Jahren, in denen die Grundlagen der Ägyptologie gelegt wurden.
		Georg Schweinfurths herausragendes Verdienst war es, etwas zu sammeln, zu präparieren und dauerhaft zu konservieren, wofür sich viele Ausgräber nicht interessierten - für pflanzliches Material, das oft in reichlicher Menge gefunden wurde.

	The Latvian Institute
		The life of ethnologist, palaeontologist and botanist Schweinfurth began in Riga, but he was educated at several universities in Germany.
		Thus, for example, Schweinfurth was the first to describe in detail the cannibalistic practices of the Mangbettu people and made the first study of the pygmy tribes, settling the question as to the presence of pygmies in tropical Africa.
		In the 1860s and 70s, Schweinfurth was regarded as the leading African specialist and one of the foremost authorities on the origin of cultivated plants.

		Population estimates of the Azande vary considerably, since it is difficult to tell exactly what boundaries the estimators have used or whether they have included related ethnic groups in their estimates.
		When Schweinfurth visited the region in 1868-71, slavery was at its height.
		While early Arab influence on the Azande had been minimal, that of Egyptian and Sudanese officials and, later, traders was much greater, eventually leading to a gradual breakdown of the big kingdoms into smaller chiefdoms.
