when i read the content,Mansa Musa(this is how it is related to the desert,he used to be the richest man on earth in the 1200 years,im sure that he could survive in any conditions in the desert since he traveled a lot in the desert,but as any black person his skin helps him to stay under the sun,its not the best description but i think he is a really desert person like,ps: search him on google) came into my mind,however i have done this skin entiry by myself,i haven't even looked at photos or anything during the process of skinning. also i thinked a bit about how people used to dress in the times of Jesus Christ,our Savior.God bless you all and success!
