A map of Africa, made by John Cary in 1805, showing the Mountains of Kong extending eastwards to the Mountains of the Moon.The Mountains of Kong on a West African Map from 1839.
The Mountains of Kong are a legendary mountain range charted on maps of Africa from 1798 through to the late 1880s.[1] The mountains were once thought to begin in West Africa near the highland source of the Niger River close to Tembakounda in Guinea, then continue east to the equally legendary Central African Mountains of the Moon, thought to be where the White Nile had its source. None of these mountains actually exist.
