"Gurna/Qurna exists, meaning "the horn" in reference to the mountain on the Western Bank of the Nile across from Thebes"
-- Very interesting. Pliny mentions a "Horn of the West". It's not exact, but still interesting.

"There is reported to be another island off [African] Mount Atlas [in the Atlantic], itself also called Atlantis, from which a two days’ voyage along the coast reaches the desert district in the neighbourhood of the Western Aethiopes [i.e. black Africans] and the cape mentioned above as the Horn of the West, the point at which the coastline begins to curve westward in the direction of the Atlantic." -- Pliny the Elder, Natural History 6. 199 (trans. Rackham) (Roman encyclopedia C1st A.D.)
