Mountains of the Moon

"Mountains of the Moon ", was a true story of two European explorers,Richard Francis Burton and John Hanning Speke. They came to explore and look for the source of the Nile river,thus leading the Europeans to conquer Africa. The Africans called the Europeans "white men", because they have never seen anyone like them before. This would leave at some points for the two explores to be captured and tortured by the Africans. Not only were the Africans the only dangers in Africa, the European explorers had to face very hot dry desserts & the shortage of water.

The Europeans also had to face diseases and deadly animals and weathers. In Africa there would be deadly bugs and insects and the European explorers would have to be cautious where they would be and what to touch. The Europeans had found the source of the Nile, and named it "lake Victoria" the third largest lake in the world. It is weird that the Europeans would name the source that kind of name , due to the fact that they were in Africa and it wasn't an African name.Europeans had a huge advantage over the Africans because they brought guns and had higher technology than the Africans, all the Africans had spears.
