Legends

The legend is of the Sulaiman mountain range, east of Quetta, overlooking the plain of the Indus river. The highest peak is called Takht-i Sulaiman, Solomon's Throne; Ibn Battuta called it Solomon's Peak {"Koh-i Sulaiman"). Ibn Battuta retells the story that King Solomon climbed this mountain and looked out over the land of South Asia, which was then covered with darkness - but he turned back without descending into this new frontier, and left only the mountain which is named after him.Fact|date=February 2008
