Sinbad the Sailor is of Middle Eastern origin. His tale is, in modern times, often connected with and/or included in The Thousand and One Nights, or the Arabian Nights, but it originally was not part of it. On Sinbad's second voyage, the bird monster known as a roc takes him to the valley of the giant snakes. The snakes are food for the rocs. Merchants come here to gather the diamonds. They throw meat chunks to snakes to divert their attention so they can get diamonds.
