Geography

Near the Zerhoun range are the ruins of Volubilis, once the Roman provincial capital, and the first home of Idris I.[1] It was settled by Phoenicians or Carthaginians prior to the conclusion of the Punic Wars, when it was annexed by Rome.[2] After the withdrawal of Rome, Christian Berbers continued to inhabit Volubilis until the seventh century AD (Bidwell, 2005). Volubilis has been designated as a World Heritage Site. Also nearby is the town of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, site of the mausoleum of Idris I.

gollark: Anything with "should"/"ought"/whatever is pretty subjective unless you stick "in order to" on the end.
gollark: Ah, yes, here it is. While I don't think blocking someone who finds a problem of some sort with your site/information disclosure is the right solution, that should probably be respected, and you should *also* stop obtaining data/looking for vulnerabilities if the owner asks.
gollark: There's context of some sort.
