Also known as the Himalaya, the Himalayas is a mountain range that is situated on the Asian continent. The mountain range includes at least fifty mountains with an elevation of more than 23,000 feet including the famous Mount Everest which is the world's highest peak. The Himalayas also have a number of rivers such as the Ganges and the Indus.
This is the first major history of the Himalaya: an epic story of peoples, cultures and adventures among the world's highest mountains. Spanning millennia, from its earliest inhabitants to the present conflicts over Tibet and Everest, Himalaya is a soaring account of resilience and conquest, discovery and plunder, oppression and enlightenment at the ‘roof of the world'. 502: Lifestyle Billy Butcher.

Location
The Himalayan range acts as the separator between Tibetan Plateau and the subcontinent of India. The Himalayas is spread out over five countries namely Nepal, China, Pakistan, Bhutan, and India. Presently, at least 52 million people in all the five countries live in the area designated as the Himalayas.

Size and Age
With an age of about 70 million years and massive height, the Himalayas are actually the youngest and the tallest mountain ranges in the world. The mountain ranges were formed after a collision between the Eurasian and the Indian tectonic plates. Interestingly, a number of studies have established that the range has an annual movement of about 20 mm. For this reason, the area is prone to landslides, tremors, and other natural disasters.
Name
The name of the mountain stems from a Sanskrit word that roughly translates to an abode made of snow. The first part of the word 'hima' corresponds to a word meaning snow while the other part means a dwelling or an abode. Other languages have variations of the name that also translate to the same thing in English. The naming is not a surprise considering that the top of Mount Everest is constantly covered with snow.
Religion
The range is home to plenty of cultures and religions such as Buddhism, Islam, Jainism, Christianity, and Hinduism. Accordingly, there are many famous religious sites for the religions. An example of such a site is Paro Taktsang in Bhutan where people claim is the founding site of Buddhism. Interestingly, Hinduism believes that the mountain range is an all-powerful deity. This belief is mentioned in several Hindu religious texts like the Rig-Veda and the Skanda Purana.
Flora and Fauna
Naturally, the extensive range is home to a vast array of rare and exotic animals. These animals include mountain goats, Tibetan sheep, wild goats, and the endangered snow leopards. The animals vary depending on factors like climate and height. For example, the snow leopard lives in places with a high elevation. An example of a unique tree species is the Juniperus tibetica which grows at heights of around 16,080 feet in the southeastern side of Tibet.

Climbers
The record for the most climbs of the Mount Everest peak is currently at 21 and is held by two Sherpas known as Phurba Tashi and Apa Sherpa. In the case of Phurba, he managed to climb the mountain three times in a single year (2007). In the case of Apa, between 1990 and 2011, he made the climb almost every year. The first person to climb Mount Everest was a man known as Edmund Percival Hillary together with Tenzing Norgay.

This list comprises people claimed to achieve a deathless existence on Earth. This list does not contain those people who are supposed to have attained immortality through the typical means of a religion, such as a Christian in Heaven. It also does not include people whose immortality involves living in a place not on Earth, such as Heracles on Mount Olympus[1] or the Eight Immortals of Taoism in Mount Penglai. It also does not include people who, according to their religion, became deities or actually were deities the whole time, such as Jesus of Nazareth (who as part of the Trinity was, according to Christianity, also God) or Parashurama according to Hindu mythology.

List[edit]
These listings are in chronological order, though some dates are approximate.
- Ziusudra (also Zi-ud-sura and Zin-Suddu; Hellenized Xisuthros: 'found long life' or 'life of long days') of Shuruppak is listed in the WB-62 Sumerian king list[citation needed] recension as the last king of Sumer prior to the deluge. He is subsequently recorded as the hero of the Sumerian flood epic. He is also mentioned in other ancient literature, including The Death of Gilgamesh[citation needed] and The Poem of Early Rulers,[citation needed] and a late version of The Instructions of Shuruppak refers to Ziusudra. AkkadianAtrahasis ('extremely wise') and Utnapishtim ('he found life'), as well as biblical Noah ('rest') are similar heroes of flood legends of the Ancient Near East.[2]
- Endymion, a shepherd in the Mount Latmus of Asia Minor. Artemis fell in love with him at first sight, but Endymion is a mortal, would eventually die naturally, so Artemis asked Zeus to grant Andymion eternal life, but the price was long sleep. Endymion still maintained a beautiful face and a gratifying smile after he fell asleep. Artemis was deeply moved by Endymion's beauty, so she would spy on him in the cave every night.
- Tithonus, who in Greek mythology was granted eternal life but not eternal youth. He was transformed into a grasshopper.[3]
- Ashwathama the Kaurava warrior after the kurukshetra was cursed by Krishna 'to be immortal and roam the earth without love, respect and social acceptance from anyone until the end of time'.[4]
- The Wandering Jew (b. 1st century BC), a Jewish shoemaker. According to legend, he taunted Jesus on his way to crucifixion. Jesus cursed him to 'go on forever till I return.' Thus, the Wandering Jew is to live until the second coming of Jesus.[5]
- John the Apostle (AD 6-101), one of Jesus's followers. Some Mormons, in conjunction with their own scriptures, interpret the biblical scripture found at John 21:21-23 to mean that John will tarry or remain on the earth until the Second Coming.[6]
- The Three Nephites (between AD 34 and 35), three men described in the Book of Mormon who are given power over death in order to fulfill their desire to minister among men until Jesus comes again.[7]
- Markandeya, a sage who was granted immortality at the age of sixteen.[citation needed]
- Sir Galahad (born 2nd-6th century), one of the three Arthurian knights to find the Holy Grail. Of these questing knights, Galahad is the only one to have achieved immortality by it.[8]
- Merlin (2nd century-6th centuries), the famous magician. In some accounts, Merlin is trapped by an enchantment by Nimue, and while some end with Merlin dying, in others he remains in the trap (variously a tomb, a cave, a mist, or a tree) indefinitely.[citation needed]
- Nicolas Flamel (c. 1330 – ), a French scribe and manuscript seller. He is believed to have found and decoded the everchanging book of Abraham the Mage, and found a spell for immortality, along with his wife.
- Count of St. Germain. Myths, legends, and speculations about St. Germain began to be widespread in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and continue today. They include beliefs that he is immortal.
- Mahavatar Babaji (30 November 203 BCE), an Indian Kriya Yoga guru who is believed to have manifested 5,000 years ago in India and is still presently alive in his physical body. He is reputed to live in India or at the Himalaya mountain.[9]
Failed quests for immortality[edit]
- Gilgamesh (possibly reigned during the 26th century BC) after the death of his companion, Enkidu, Gilgamesh pursues immortality to avoid Enkidu's fate. Gilgamesh fails two tests and does not become immortal, realising instead that mortals attain immortality through lasting works of civilization and culture. Gilgamesh's story is among the oldest stories recorded.[10]
- Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of China who reigned during 259 BC–210 BC, also sought immortality in his old age. Twice he sent hundreds of people under the direction of Xu Fu to find the legendary elixir of life, but failed. He allegedly died of mercury poisoning after he had eaten too many mercury pills, prescribed by his court doctors to make him immortal.[11]
