Overview
Mount Lunya is a high mountain in the land of the Zaghawa, whose soil is white and soft. 3
What al-Idrisi reports
On the mountain is a cave that people avoid, because of a report of a great serpent in it. At the foot of the mountain is water that flows a little and then stops. 4
The report of the serpent is a story that people tell, and it needs an additional source.
