B'Thazoshe Bridge was a rock formation in the Jundland Wastes on Tatooine. Standing at 90 meters high, it was the largest natural bridge on the planet, and was believed to be formed from ancient drainage channels.
It was a sacred site of the Tusken Raiders, and its name translated to bantha horn turned to stone in Basic. They had a tradition of firing off rounds from a slugthrower before passing through as failure to do so would bring bad luck to the tribe. The bridge also marked the boundary of their ancient hunting territory. Coincidentally, in at least one case misfortune did ensue when one passerby failed to perform this ritual—Anakin Skywalker passed underneath this landmark during his search for his mother, held captive in a Tusken village, in 22 BBY.
