The area presently known as Cape Town had no written history before it was first mentioned by the Portuguese explorer Bartholomeu Dias in 1488. The German anthropologist Theophilus Hahn recorded that the original name of the area was ‘||Hui ! Gais’ – a toponym in the indigenous Khoe language meaning “where clouds gather.” Cape Town is known for its harbour, its natural setting in the Cape Floristic Region, and for landmarks such as Table Mountain and Cape Point.
