Mountains often feature prominently in religious practices, serving as settings for rituals and ceremonies. For example, the Inca civilization performed rituals on Andean peaks, while Mount Kailash holds immense importance in Tibetan Buddhism. Mountains also functioned as ancient astronomical systems, allowing indigenous peoples to track celestial events. This book examines burial practices in mountainous regions, where elevation and proximity to the heavens influenced mortuary customs. Mountains are not merely geographical features but act as potent symbols linking the earthly and divine realms. Through archaeological findings, historical accounts, and anthropological studies, the book argues that this consistent reverence reflects a fundamental human desire to connect with something greater.</p><p>The book progresses from introducing sacred geography concepts to exploring ritual landscapes, burial grounds, and celestial observatories. By presenting detailed case studies worldwide, the book highlights the diverse integration of mountains into spiritual and practical life, making it a valuable resource for understanding cultural preservation, anthropology, and world history.</p>...7065475Sacred Mountain Sites178178https://www.gandhi.com.mx/sacred-mountain-sites-9788235272164/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7032329/image.jpg?v=638793609702670000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2025Inglés
