From mountain to temple to house

Bob Trubshaw

‘All over the world, certain mountains are considered to be the abodes of the gods. Examples are numerous and cosmopolitan. The ancient Greeks had their Mount Olympus; the Hindus Mount Meru and Mount Kailas; the Tibetan Buddhists, Kanchenjunga; the North American natives, Bear Butte, Mount Shasta, and the San Francisco Twin peaks; the ancient Britons had Mount Snowdon and Glastonbury Tor; and the Jews Mount Sinai and Mount Horeb.’ Nigel Pennick [1]
