My first memory, at age 3, was seeing giraffes and Mt. Kilimanjaro
(Tanzania) from the back of a truck on route to Ethiopia in 1944.

Mountains treated as
symbols of the sacred
• Physical links to the cosmos from earth
• Sources of power and protection from enemies
• Sources of beauty and majesty
• High mountains are cruel: lack of air, freezing, highly
unpredictable weather
• Established traditions for pilgrimages, monasteries
• Revered as deities and as sites for human sacrifices
• They are ―embodiments of humanity’s highest ideals and
aspirations‖ (from Berbaum, Sacred Mountains of the World, 1998)

Mt. Everest lies on the Nepal—Tibet border.
People from both countries refer to it as ―Goddess‖.

Mt. Kailash in northern Tibet is treated as sacred by four
Religions. Climbing it is sacrilegious but walking it’s 32-mile
base is believed to forgive a lifetime of sins.

Almost nothing but barley will grow in Tibet, but most Tibetans are farmers. They have planted
100s of thousands of willow trees in the valleys for erosion control and firewood. Unlike the
Rockies, the mountains have no trees.
Tibetans have dark reddish skin, burned by the cruel sun at 12,000+ feet altitude.
Cars are rare. Tiny tractors are common.

Representations of spirits, both good and evil, were everywhere inside
religious rooms. Most were gold plated with many jewels. Glare is
nearly impossible to avoid.

Mountains treated as
symbols of the sacred
• Physical links to the cosmos from earth
• Sources of power and protection from enemies
• Sources of beauty and majesty
• High mountains are cruel: lack of air, freezing, highly
unpredictable weather
• Established traditions for pilgrimages, monasteries
• Revered as deities and as sites for human sacrifices
• They are ―embodiments of humanity’s highest ideals and
aspirations‖ (from Berbaum, Sacred Mountains of the World, 1998)
