For my final paper, I am thinking about writing how various ancient societies viewed the mountains. We have discussed it a bit in class, and I would like to explore it further. I want to know different philosophies, religions practices, as well as each cultures reason for bedding near the mountains. I will to try to stay away from the Himalayas, since we have hit them pretty hard in class. I want to study the Americas as well as Africa and Australia. Hopefully I can find enough research on these topics.
