Did you know taht the head of the department for the UN in germanys Foreign Department is a Michael Freiherr von Ungern-Sternberg? I wonder if we would send him as an ambassador to Mongolia. Some years ago we sent him to Russia as a vizeconsul...

I've just googled his pic, and yes, there is a family resemblence. In fact the original if anything looks slightly more sane.....

Ungern-Sternberg is a baltic nob family with many branches

but the Jungian Synchronicity is funny nevertheless

His Holiness believes they are in fact the same person, the eternal spirit moving from one earthly shell to another. Have any black tents been seen outside UN buildings?

Don't know what is stranger - the fact that he is wearing the same coat as the camel or the fact that he is riding side-saddle!

Not quite correct. The artist seems to have tried to depict his golden brocade Mongol "jacket", which you can find pictures of on the net.
The camel on the other hand is pure fantasy of the artist.

Sad, but not only does the camel look bored, but more deep in thought than the other two!

Well, that goes for 90% of the Swedish Commanders during that period
