Snake Mountain as seen in the Filmation animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
History[]
The exact age of Snake Mountain is unclear, although in the season 1 episode Golden Disks of Knowledge we learn that Skeletor built Snake Mountain with wisdom he learned from the Golden Disks of Knowledge, which he stole from Zanthor, a member of the Council of the Wise.
The episode Masks of Power reveals that many centuries ago, the Sword of the Ancients was thrust into a boulder of pure quartz, deep beneath Snake Mountain, and forgotten. According to the Sorceress, it is the most powerful weapon on Eternia, next to He-Man's Sword of Power.
The spin-off series She-Ra: Princess of Power reveals in the episode Reunions that during the invasion of Hordak & the Evil Horde, Snake Mountain was used as a Horde base. Eventually the Evil Horde was defeated by the Eternians. Skeletor, who at the time was a member of the Horde and a pupil of Hordak, betrayed Hordak, forcing the Horde leader to flee Eternia and abandon Snake Mountain.
