Cafcuh or Kafkuh (Persian قافکوه ''qaafkuh'' or کوه قاف ''kuh-e qaaf''; (アラビア語:جبل قاف) ''jabal qaf'') is a mythological mountain in Iranian tradition. Historically Iranian power never extended over all of the Northern Caucasus and ancient lore shrouded these high mountains in mystery.〔(كوه قاف در اسطوره و عرفان ايراني )〕 It was: * The highest mountain * The land of the Demons (Who did not obey the Iranian religion) * Saoshyant's battlefield * Simurgh's nest ==Arab tradition== Mount Qaf (''Jabal Qaf'' or ''Djebel Qaf'') is a mysterious mountain of ancient Muslim tradition renowned as the "farthest point of the earth". Owing to its remoteness, the North Pole is sometimes identified with this mountain.〔Ibrahim Muhawi & Sharif Kanaana. ''Speak, Bird, Speak Again: Palestinian Arab Folktales.'' Berkeley University of California Press〕〔Irgam Yigfagna; ''al-Jabal al-Lamma''〕 According to certain authors, the ''Jabal Qaf'' of Muslim cosmology is a version of Rupes Nigra, a mountain whose ascent, like Dante's climbing of the Mountain of Purgatory, represents the pilgrim's progress through spiritual states.〔Irgam Yigfagna; ''al-Jabal al-Lamma'', p. 44〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cafcuh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
