6. Mount Bashenga
In the movie, the mine under Wakanda where the Vibranium stocks are found and Shuri's Wakanda Design Group - her lab in other words - are located deep inside Mount Bashenga.
It is named in honour of Bashenga, the first known Black Panther (a detail that was retconned to make him the SECOND), who closed the mine and formed the Panther Cult that would guard it against all intruders. It was he who was given direct secret knowledge by Bast.
