—N'Jobu[source]Millions of years ago, a meteorite made of vibranium, the strongest substance in the universe, struck the continent of Africa, affecting the plant life around it. And when the time of men came, five tribes settled on it and called it Wakanda.
History
Long ago, a small African tribe in what would later be known as Wakanda witnessed a bright light in the sky. The light crashed to the Earth, leaving a large rock made from a mysterious metal. Over time, the tribe mined the ore known as Vibranium, and learned of its amazing energy absorbing properties. The great mound was the small nation's source of vibranium and became one of their most sacred guarded secrets.[3]
Points of Interest
The Great Mound is a vibranium extraction site.[citation needed]

Notes
- The events depicted in Black Panther #7 were retconned by Avengers (Vol. 8) #4, which place the meteor's impact at 1,000,000 years ago.
