Salmanasar: A for Mosa

The first thing that comes to my mind here is this is 17-0 something. But Europeans had had contact at this point with Africans. How would they possibly have entertained the idea that this dude was a for Mosan? He said people lived mostly underground and they were went above ground surrounded by trees, so they kept out of the sun. Was it his real name? No, we don't know his real name. He wrote a memoir, which was published after his death.
