Is it the highest peak in Sri Lanka?

It is reported that when Prophet Adam عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ was banished from heaven, God placed him on the top of the mountain so that the shock could be minimal.

Early Arab seamen reportedly were so amazed by the peak, that they named it the highest peak in the world, even though it is not even the highest one in Sri Lanka.
