Barbarian hordes are invading Europe

We say that art says alot more about his author then the object.

Barbarian as seen by 16th century intelectual

I have just learned while reading the book The Myth of Nations: The Medieval Origins of Europe by Patrick Geary that the most of Europeans especially Germans and French think that after the fall of Soviet Union their pure nations are being invaded by barbarians from west. More over, they see the situation as that in the end of 4th century in Rome when it fell after invasions of barbarians from the East. This argument is even being used by modern politicians today...

Sometimes is difficult to tell the difference...
