Located around 50 km (31 mi) away from Tangier, Morocco (ancient Tingis), it is possible that the Mzoura burial site is the same one that Roman general Quintus Sertorius had been shown by locals, during a visit to the Kingdom of Mauretania in 82 BC. Sertorius, according to a legend narrated by Greek-Roman biographer Lucius Plutarch, excavated the tomb and found the body of the giant Antaeus, son of Gaia and Poseidon, buried there. Antaeus (or Anti in Tamazight) is also known to Greek mythology through the 12 Labors of Hercules.
