Influence on Henry Swainson Cowper?

Shouldn't Heinrich Barth's influence on the British explorer, Henry Swainson Cowper, who has an article in the German (but not the English) Wikipedia, be included here in Barth's article? Cowper's article should be rebuilt in the English Wikipedia, so that English readers can learn of him, his explorations, and their contributions to erroneous speculative history, since they're both connected to one another. Both Barth and Cowper are famous for their misinterpretations of North African archeological finds they had misattributed to an African Stonehenge, but there's no mention at all of it in this article. Barth and Cowper, nowadays, are used as examples of some of the erroneous history that emanated from their Victorian perspectives, despite being highly educated Europeans of the time, not the idyllic article that's portrayed here. Where are the British contributors to Wikipedia? Stevenmitchell (talk) 07:18, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
