"mountains of the moon" was a movie based on two explorers named Richard Francis Burton and Lt. John Hanning Speke. they went to africa to explore the nile river and find the source of the river. The first trip to Africa ended up being a mistake because the tribe that owned the land that burton and Speke were resting on, attacked them. Burton received a spear to the face that went through his cheek. Speke was hit by a spear on both legs. The African tribe killed all of the African workers that were hired by Burton and Speke. Everytime a tribe saw the explorers they stopped and they were scarred because they never seen a white man before, they touched there face and there hair. The explorers named the source of the Nile, lake Victoria. In honor of the queen.
