[ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] The Cumberland Gap is now known as a wind gap since water no longer flows through it.[4]
The V-shaped gap serves as a gateway to the west.
Long used by Native Americans, the Cumberland Gap was brought to the attention of settlers in 1750 by Thomas Walker, a Virginia physician and explorer. The path was explored by a team of frontiersmen led by Daniel Boone, making it accessible to pioneers who used it to journey into the western frontiers of Kentucky and Tennessee. [ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] although cuneiform inscriptions from Mesopotamia exist where Ltu refers to disease-bearing wind spirits.[citation needed] Another possibility is association not with "night", but with "wind", thus identifying the Akkadian Lil-itu as a loan from the Sumerian lil "air"
